Why not put a lip of the color of your vehicle. That would look really sick.

wheels look good!

Im curious as too how sanding the way you did compares to completly stripping the coating off. I know for pc, they need to strip the orig. paint, finish, etc... in order for the coating to form a bond to the metal.

Im sure if you sand REALLY good, its no different, cause in essence your creating a nice porous surface for the paint to bond too!

Yea, I sanded the shit out of them and it took all the clear off of it so it was just the bare rim... and it was scuffed with a scuffing pad and the paint bonded really good, Didn't have bad runs or anything and yea im really impressed how they came out for it being my 1st time painting... lol
