the process of sprayin the rims was somewhat easy, u just sand down the clear cloat and then 2 layer of primer, then sand wit fine grid like 800, then paint bout 2 or 3layers then clear cloat. i only did one layer of clear cloat cuz i didnt want it shiny but it was so yea hehe. sorry for the bad grammar im at my friend house and i gotta get off. so yea oh yeah after sand always mak sure u wipe off the dust n everything when spray alway keep ur rim clean.
