need help with painting rims
so recently i have read some posts on how people paint their stock stealies and i decided to aswell. ( i have Not alot of painting experiance)
ok-
1- i took some carborator cleaner and sprayed teh rims ( note i have only 2 for now)
ii gave it a good clean and dried them
2- i took 220 sand paper and stared sanding it down slowly.
it got dark so i stopped and here are soem pix of my progress.
- just want to know if im doing everything ok for now.
BEFORE
AFTER
----- am i sanding good or is it to much. ?---------
