Default so i want to polish my wheel spoke faces but not the rest.....can i mask?

i have some flat black slips and want to polish the faces of the spokes and also the lip, but i want to keep the old paint on the rest of the wheel. if i were to mask off the part i want to stay painted would aircraft remover just eat through the masking tape? is there any other way i could mask off the paint?

would be easier to polish first, then mask and repaint

it takes up alot of time to strip paint, sand, polish, mask, and then repaint

the aircraft stuff will be messy when you're tyring to strip the paint and dont wnat it on the mask area, if you're patient and cautious you can do it

what size slips, i'll trade you one that i started on already for one of your's
