Default diy: brushed wheel centers

This topic has been discussed before, but I want to gain a little more confidence before attepting it myself. All I have heard and read is to use red scotchbrite pads. I assume I will have to break down my 3 piece wheels, mount them on a rotating device and spin them slowly while experimenting with pressure and duration of the scotchbrite. The complete wheel is polished now, but I want to end up with brushed centers and powder coated lips. At least that's the game plan.

Does anyone have side by side pics of brushed components that have been clear coated vs clear powder coated. Thanks
