Do you mind sharing some detail about your process? Did you take your wheels off to do it? How many coats did you apply? Did you use the clear gloss afterward?
I put a card board around the wheel well, tape the logo of the center cap off and that's it, 5 layers with 30 minutes in between each, and no clear coat.

After it is done, cut around the rim and peel the side of the sidewall of the tires. I think lapis blue will be nice with gold rims too!
