and 3 clear coats of clear coating for wheels

I'm curious....
Why use "anti-rust" paint for aluminum? It is meant for steel ,and will (probably) not do your wheels any good at all.
Why not tape off the threads inside and outside of the valve-stem? As it is, you now have to change out the valve-stem, which will damage the paint around it.

Just curious.
