i doubt i will sand them. the paint i use will cling well to un sanded and un treated parts so i think i will have the same luck with the wheels. but to be certain i will test on the inner part of a wheel

i will get a pic up tonight after i finish the other 2.

i painted flat at first and it looked too backyard sister kissin redneck.

so i used 2 coats of gloss wheel coating to top the flat. gave me a semi glass that once dry will look good. not too flat not too glossy.
