as a final step i used some matte clear wheel paint for a little extra protection & since these werent a full 100% gloss originally from what i've seen, they were more of a semi or satin sheen and a very thin coating, too thick where it fills in the stamped codes or rounds the edges of the spokes & too glossy doesnt look right.

i did the spoke masking by hand with great results but suggested the stencils for my friend & they worked good too.
