Also I was asked to post how I painted the wheels and what I used .....I sanded them completely with 400 grit...then primed them sanded again with 1000 then painted the orange on the front then taped off orange and painted the rest of wheel black....removed all tape and sprayed the clear on with orange metal flake which was the hardest part ....getting enough clear on and not to much metal flake...I've included a picture of the materials please ask if you have any questions hope this helps...and thank you all for your encouragement and kind words...

I know it's late notice...I'm truly sorry but something came up and I'm not going to make it... I hope you guys and gals have a good time

Thanks, man. Those wheels look great.
Love the fender, too. How/where is it attached? Do you have a blow-by-blow on that? Probably more than I am capable of, considering I don't have tools...do you take orders?
I still haven't attached it... working on that now but soon as I figure it out I'll post it and yes I might be able to make them for others
-

Finally done when I removed the tape I pulled the paint off one little spot that I touched up with a brush so they turned out very good got a little too much metallic in one spot my gun got clogged up but other than that I'm very happy with the way they look
-
I'll try and make it just depends on weather..... hope I can
-
Well I painted the black tonight so going to let them set for a few days remove the tape to reveal the orange and then clear them hopefully everything will go OK
-
Also if I'm correct it's suppose to be on The lowest possible spot on your bike .....just saying...:-)
-
Yep I agree I let them cure for a few more days going to finish them this week
-
Omni Acrylic Urethane on a Omni etch primer after sanding the entire wheel with 400 I think I didn't let it cure long enough ....I'm going to give it one more try then I'm going to powder coat as a last resort
-
I'm about ready to give up ...taped the orange off today to paint the black ... didn't like the way I had one piece of the tape so I pulled it off to redo the edge and this happen
OHYAVA!!!!
-
Well here goes my 2nd try sprayed the orange today will tape off orange tomorrow and spray the black....
