Because I know not everyone reads my build thread and if someone searches in the future it will be easier for them to find this.

Picked up a set of 16x7 Euromeister Fuchs replicas.

They look pretty good right out of the box, but I wanted an RSR finish, or something close.

A real RSR finish is anodized with black paint and a polished lip (as far as I understand...) I didn't want to go that crazy. I masked the machined/polished outer lip and shot the whole front face in Rustoleum dull aluminum. Then masked the pedals and inner lip and shot the flat black. I did it this way because it's easier to mask.

I used electrical tape to mask the paint edges, and blue tape for the larger open areas.
