what grit sand paper should i use to paint my wheels

 

ask das, he painted his "riams"

 

if your not going to primer just use a 1000 grit to rough the surface then paint over that

 

what if im going to primer?

 

What kind of rims? Aluminum or the stock steel?
I did my stockers with cheap black paint. First I cleaned the rims thoroughly with Castrol's cleaner and a parts cleaning brush. This took off 9 years worth of road grime on both sides. The inside finish looked like new. Then I sandblasted the rust spots on the outside, filled my spraygun with cheap lacquer thinner and sprayed them down. I painted the wheels and set them aside for a few days for the paint to set up then mounted my new Bridgestone 190/60x14 tires.
