OK so i have taped off and started the stripping on the rear kat wheel i bought.  I took pics of the before and i will take pics of the after and post them as soon as its all done.  Hoping to upload pics tonight sometime to should how it looks.  I used aircraft stripper and im painting the rest of the wheel with dupli-color metalcast anodized ground coat and metalcast anodized blue top coat.

I desided while i was doing the wheels i would do the brake rotor and drive hub too so ill have some pics tomorrow sometime.

Added a few pics of what i have painted so far.  what do you guys think?

looks very nice josh. let me know how well the top coat holds up, i may be trying something similar in the future.

I really like the way that rotor looks! Please report back how the paint holds up. I know the rotor gets super hot and I wonder if it will get hot enough to hurt the paint...

best part about this paint is that its heat resistant up to 500 degrees so i dont think i will have any problems with it.  the wheel will be this blue in the center and polished outta lip on both sides.  i think its going to look pretty sick from what i have got done so far.  it is taking me a bit longer then i thought at first but i think its going to be worth it in the long run.

Update******  i got the rear wheel stripped and polished, taped off and ground coat is on I will have pics of ground coat and finished paint in a little while.

Very cool. 500 degrees will probably do it...

I just untaped the wheel so here you go

Looking good!

Damn dude that looks HOT!  Might be a dumb question but will you have to treat that aluminum to keep it from yellowing?

car polish too keep it looking good once a week or so you know wash wax the bike and the wheel

NICE! 

it did take longer then i thought but total on this wheel i think i have a total of 8 hours +/- super excited about how it turned out tho.  next is clutch and brake levers

outstanding!!

heres the completed wheel all together


I still need to paint my rotor bolts but thinking about goin stainless so they dont rust.

That's just freaking NICE

Looks awesome! Are you going to polish the front wheel as well?

Yes front one will be polished and painted to match the rear wheel.
