    @LockDots84: I didn't have any trouble or damage with the repaired rash, but there was a tiny bit of damage to the bondo around the centerbores when they were put on the balancer. The center caps obscure most of that, though.

    YMMV, it's probably a good idea to let the tire tech know that they're fresh paint, and slip him a $20 or a six-pack of brews so that he takes care with them.

    That last 2000-grit sand and wipedown before a final coat of clear REALLY did the trick.

    Do you recommend sanding body panels/bumpers with 2000 grit before the final clear coat as well? Or is that just for wheels?
