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!!

i painted my 18's on my probe last year.
i jsut cleaned them up real good and taped off the tires and had at it. i used regular Duplicolor car paint and the wheel clear. it turned 3 of my wheels yellow. after i traded my probe for another one i decided to re-paint the rims white due to curb marks. I spent 2 hours sandblasting one rim. the rest i just cleaned real good, taped them off and had at it. this time i used 1200 degree Duplicolor paint with no clear. rims were whiter then ever, matched and look great even now. -------------------- Jared Harwell
