Awesome stuff as always shodog. Great idea. 8)

BTW, do you clear coat over the whole lot once you have finished the polishing, to protect the finish?

I usually don't clear coat becuase sometimes the clear coat will make it look dull and you have no way to repolish it up without having to take the clear off.

Next in the paint booth is my set of tecnacrafts I have on my 6010 car.

first I polished the wheels. Then i masked the lip part of the rim and shot the clear orange from a can. after it had dried, I took a q-tip dipped in laquer thinnner and removed the excess paint from the area that looks like it has rivets

BTW Matt, did you see my custome cereal bowl my wife made for me? http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=60403&id=34
