yeah that was pretty good simple advice. the worst part is the polshing to start with, towards the end when you can see the fruits of your labour is the best bit. my advice is to get the best tape you can, dont just use plain ol masking tape, that stuff is crap! when i did my vtr rims i had to touch up the black, paint and paint remover get underneath the tape,but that was simple cos the inner rim was heavily textured and i just uaed a small chisel brush and gloss black enamel. you couldnt tell. have lots of rags and water for rinsing. in australia ive heard of shops charging up to and beyond $500.00 to strip and polish just the outer rims on both wheels. crazy. you get much more satisfaction doin it yourself. lets see the pics as and when you do yours.
