i thinks so because of the brake dust, but will be getting real good quality lacquer otherwise it will dull!

will you spray the lacquer yourself?

yeah i have a compressor and spray gun so can use proper stuff rather than aerosol!

nice one, aerosol is a pain in the butt to control flow and spray finest! I never got good results from on/off spray cans

Did you remove all the raised logos ? I would have left just the rotation arrow for tyre fitting duties . I have heard of other treatments that powder finishing places can use instead of lacquer that leave a shinier finish for just this sort of thing . Bloody good work by the way and YC`s statement made me laugh .

Since the SV wheel is different each side you can figure that out. I would not polish the arrow off of an SRAD wheel or similar which is symmetrical.
