well, i just needed some tips on prepping my rims. i bought a couple cans of graphite wheel paint and clear coat wheel paint. oh yeah and the rims are 7th gen gts wheels. i just want a good turn out and not having to redo them. i was just thinkin clean them sand them down a bit spray then clear cloat. does that sound good enough? any help is appreciated!!

Ok, First take off, then use de-greaser and clean them. Then DO Not waste your time using sand paper, use a brilo pad.. a lot easier and all you need. I spent 2-3 hours sanding one perfect, and 10 min on each of the others and they all turned out the same. They use alchol to whip down, then prepare to spray. Also do 4-5 light coats so you dont get runs. Then do 2-3 clear coats. and then let dry a solid day. then your done and remount.
