Re: Rim Painting
As long as there isn't much rust then you can give the current surface a quick sand w/800 grit sandpaper real quick then topcoat to your preference. I typically take them down to bare metal and go from there but it's time consuming and a pain. I used that Eastwood clear coat and had some serious problems with it, would not adhear to the paint eventhough i followed their instructions to the letter. Maybe it was a bad batch. I'd simply use the color you want and skip the clear. If you need to repaint them all you'd need to do is hit it w/some sandpaper and recoat the entire wheel otherwise you'd need to sand all the clear off. Yes, powdercoating is much better but cost and down-time was what turned me away from it.
