Project HRE Refinish

Wow, great work and an inspiration. I'm picking up a spare set of SSR GT3's today. I have been thinking about painting them and polishing the lips.
I have a few questions if you don't mind.
1. how did you polish them. did you use a small buffer? how did you protect the tire from all the polishing stuff
2. what did you use to protect the paint from chips and such?
3. are all 3 piece wheels siliconed together? I'm guessing they must be.
I'm wondering if a clear powder coat exists, that could be applied over paint. I'm thinking about painting the spokes on the GT3's Suzuka to match the car.
thanks
Mitch

Looking Great!! I can't wait to see more daytime pictures.
S2kSuzuka - my LMs are getting a clear from the powder coating shop over the black chrome powder so yes it exists.

2)The paint is clear coated and then I put a layer of sealer and wax on them. Other than that, nothing really.
3)All 3 pc wheels have 2 rim halves that are siliconed together. If you take your tires off, be careful not to put any stress on the rim halves. The bead is pretty tough, but I wouldn't want to risk messing it up.
