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!!
