Default Alloy refurbing Q

Copied from my post on another forum;

Basically im using nitromors to strip my wheels down to the bare metal.


And i've got most of the paint off now(old picture) but the entire rim is gold, the spokes and centre is all 'silver' metal, but the rim is gold, and it is a perfect line in transitioning from rim to spokes

Any explaination for this, and is it fine to paint over the gold stuff?



Thanks, James.
