How to paint rims

1) You will want to sand all of your rim or rims with a 150 grit sand paper. (Be sure to get all corners)
2) Spray with primer.
3) Repeat steps one and two 4-5 times.
4) Next, you will want to tape off your tire. Or you can go to a local tire shop and ask to get it dismounted from your rim.
6) Spray with your choice of spray paint.
7) Finish it off with clear coat. \
(Adding lines like time attack rims will have additoinal steps.)

@blake9766 you're sanding so that you can get a nice, smooth, consistent surface. scuffing up the rims before priming also helps the primer to bond with the metal, allowing a good base for the paint to stick to.

I'm still a noob at this but after a few hours of research that's my understanding of it.

Do you need to let the air out of tires to tape them off?

How did you sand down those tight areas between spokes? Thanks

[waldo170]

These are the exact rims that I have right now that Im painting. The spots inbetween the spokes are the real tough parts to sand : /

@SplitZERR0 hmm...it says to read the description right? all of the the instructions are there.

[blake9766]

sorry but serious noob question here.. why would i want to sand the primer off the wheels? would it somehow work the primer into the screeches in the wheels?
