I still think Powder Coating is the way to go, looks great and a harder surface... Black with yellow lettering with clear powder coat..

Can anyone provide a link to the 1/8" tape in red that you found to be successful for doing the wheel pinstripe?

Went to WALMART, picked up two shades of red nail polish, the bright red looked the best, have chrome wheels, put on thick let dry overnight and used a razor blade to remove excess it worked!
