Based on your other thread, I am assuming you want to try and match the OEM gold?

on the arms and swinger yes ... but the rims I wouldnt mind them looking like something that was made now... im going for what a 250 would look like if made now, the swinger and arms are leager

so basicall im trying to make it look like a 2010 250r,,


red fiberglass hood, red gripper seat red fiber tank cover ..

basicall same colors but current parts, I want it to shine!!!the rims i want them to look like a regular douglas shinny rim but gold crome if that makes any sense to you

That to me looks to be anodized not powder coated

I tried to get a set of oem honda wheels gold anodized like the 86-87 wheels ended up being a mess. The oem wheels have a clear coat of some type on them which reacted with the anodizing and made a mess. the clear can be buffed off and them and re-polished then anodized. ended up just getting them powder coated.
