550bryan I want my wheels painted exactly like yours, any advice on what to tell my guy who is going to refinish them?
The wheels are actually bead blasted, so no paint, Done in the 70's RSR style. They look great but are a little porous, so if they get really dirty with brake dust you have to use mineral spirits or bug and tar remover (Turtle Wax makes a nice spray version) to get the wheels clean. Here's another shot...

Guys, I've done a couple of set of these over the years.. the tape work being the most time consuming part.. but I like to use a satin or matte clear on the bead blasted area. If gives no shine, and with the right product/mix you can't even tell there's clear on them. Saves a lot of work once in use.

Schweet looking cat Bryan.. Talbot yellow?
Good eye onboost, yes Talbot Yellow, don't see many done in this shade, get lots of positive comments. It helps that the actual paint job on the car is outstanding.
Finland must be a beautiful place to drive your car. Big festival? I'm about 4 hours from the Rennsport Reunion, but, to busy to go this time. have a great time at Porsche Club Finland Festival.
