Its just an extra process to paint the outer rim silver before lacquering, with powder coating the whole wheel is painted in colour then the wheels are machined to get the diamond cut finish. Then lacquered, so no taping involved, the rims would need to be taped to do the outer rim silver, so extra work involved. There are two types of powdered lacquer, one is acrylic. the other I forget, but apparently, the acrylic lacquered finish is the one to go for.
I will check this out tomorrow. I paid £120 to get rim rash repaired and re-powdered and diamond cut. The result was A1.
