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!!

Quick suggestion... Pick up some index cards at walmart or something and place them between the tire and wheel all the way around. That way you dont have to worry about taping the tire off. Makes it so much quicker!
