Looks gorgeous finished! Bravo!

BTW - thanks for the wheel during/after pic. I just grabbed some 17" GSXR 750 straight spoke wheels for my 1100 & I want to do the same thing with painting the centers and polishing the lip.



Got any tips on how to 'hold the line' between the paint & polish?

Did you just work 1" masking tape around the transition line?

Did you polish first then paint, or the other way around?

I taped off the center, polished the lip (doesn't matter if you chunk the tape ) then tape off the polished part, paint the center then clear the whole wheel to keep the polish part polished ( too lazy to keep up on the polish). Still polished to this day..

I'll probably clear with Permalac. It bonds really well to polished metals. They use it on brass/bronze polished bells for boats. Original formula smells more than regular lacquer but it's really durable.

I used wheel clear, it can take the brake dust and brake fluid without imbedding or dissolving the clear coat.

I never cleared mine. I just give them a quick polish once a month or so. Theres something about polishing metal that feels zen like. Very calming...lol

Like I said....I'm too lazy to keep up with that.....
