Painting Wheels

Im thinking of painting my wheels black, but ive never done it before, so any help/advice would be great.

Matty Lee's just done a set of track wheels for his yaris.

I'd suggest using wet and dry, starting off with a fairly low grit and working your way upto a high grit. The more stages you do the better and smoother the finish will be.

Primer will need to be sutiable for the paint you use, i.e don't use a dark primer for a light paint.

I sure someone will correct if I'm wrong!
