GORGEOUS! How long did one wheel take you? Think you can do a break up of time between taping, spraying, and wipeing?

i spent wayyy too many hours on these to count!  i didnt use the aircraft paint remover like suggested. i just used gel stripper.  it doesnt work as well aparently cause i had to sand a good amount of paint off with fine grit paper.  i also used a dremel to smooth out the bad nicks.  so i scrubbed a LOT to get it to shine.
