Yet another DIY Fuch refurbish

So, finally after seeing the many posts depicting rim refinishing I decided to do mine. I found the best tape to use was 3M electrical for holding the radius. Oddly, it seemed the faster I taped the more accurate my line was. Paint was Rustoleum 777 black. I originally painted the caps but my last bit of spray was disasterous as the entire cap surface turned into an aligator finish. Guess some kind of surface tension issue and too much spray at one time. So following that dumb _ss move I decided to sand off all the paint and polish the cap edges. Here's the pics........

I'm not one for painted crests on caps but I like how you did those.
