Did you use 220 grit for dry sanding and 120 grit for wet?

you should do the back first though. you'll get flat overspray on the nice side you see if you don't do it that way

heh.. the same wheels I painted..

take a look.. the index card trick is much easier.. and I kept the lip polished..

this is how the wheels looked when i got them.. someone did a shity job on trying to spray the inners black..



index card trick and white primer.. cause of light color going over it.



final sprayed and cleared wheels.. and yes rattle can...
