Joe, before you do that let me show you something first. (I'm not going to try to steal your business LOL -- I know you've been happy with his work for years, and I want to introduce this to both of you.)

Check out Part No. MC-160 from NIC Industries. It's a somewhat new formulation out of several liquid ceramic finishes and is being marketed as the "World's Strongest Clear Coat." NOT a powder, this is a liquid you spray onto polished metals with an HVLP gun. This is a link to the Clear Ceramic section on the site Home | Cerakote Clear (click the one for polished metals to see the MC-160).

It will protect and preserve the polishing without hazing, getting dull or turning yellow over time. You all know what I do for a living, and this stuff is far and away superior to ANY clear powder I've ever used on my polished pieces (I no longer powder coat them at all). Check out the lower windshield trim for a convertible below, and the fins on the Commando valve covers for the famed Golden Commando GoldFish.







I also used it on the headlight rings for an old Polara ... notice the reflection of the springs.







I hope this helps your decision AND your new rims for the express!
