I have some comments and questions.

I think you did a good job on those - especially the polish part. Looks nice.

I have a set of Fuchs that I am taking the paint off, and have noticed some interesting things:

1. - The 951 8x16 wheels have a slightly different petal look from the 911 9x16 petals. I don't think it'll be noticeable from 10 feet away (normal viewing distance), but for a good presentation I'll want to do something about it. Also, the ano coating on the petals seems to be mottled. Again, you have to be looking for it to see it at 10ft., but it should be addressed. How does one address this?

2. - I like the look of RSR wheels, and could paint them for that effect, but I don't want to do that. I would rather have them bead blasted and then painted with the black. Can you do that? OK, how about an overall brushed aluminum look? I am assuming a re-ano after prepping the wheels with the "brushed" look.
