if you guys want i can send you some parts to "practice" on.....

actually im wondering. is it possible to do only certain areas of a product?

example: the face of a pulley, but not the entire pulley (ribs etc)? or only the inside of the spokes of say a wheel (like the black portions of the anniversary SS wheels, while keeping the face of it stainless steel or polished?)

It seems like you could by just masking etc since its paint. I'm curious as to the answer of this also.

We do have the ability to do selected areas of any item. We plan to implement this on engine covers for the 2010 camaro as our first piece.
The answer is absolutely yes.

Thanks, Roger

We have some other parts as well, but you get the idea of the day's pieces. The PS3 controller was the hardest item of the day, but it was a good piece to get practice on. It has a lot of curves, valleys and holes.

These parts have not been cleared yet, so the final pics will have a deep shine to them.
