I've got a buddy with a ZX6R that is painted John Deere green and yellow with the John deere on the side of the tank.

Re: new turtle wheels...

The actual coating looks good but your coater doenst know what hes doing if he coats over the rotor mating surfaces. Those should not get coated over, and should have been masked off....I wouldnt be happy if those were my rims...

Agreed i do power coating and these should have been taped off with temp tape.
Look good tho. Just have to sand or grind it down for the rotors.

so the plug that you put into the axle hole just keeps any of the coating off of the rotor holes?

No the plug keeps the threads clean of powder.
But on the rotor spots you dont want anything were the rotor mounts to the wheel so use temp tape and mask it off so no powder gets on it.
