You said about powdering rims how does it hold up with braking or do you mask off the braking surface?
Is that cream powder or paint? Bought some new bars the other week and they are a cream colour, Was thinking of getting my forks done if it's a close match.

my latest trick with the rims is to paint the inner part and mask the sides, they look really cool

and the brakes still work perfect :) and the creams powder, this colour is really popular at the mo,

the new skool boys are loving it :daumenhoch:
