im gonna put all new tire stems

and i just stripped it with stripper then did the lip with sand paper and polish. sanded the inside with 220 and then sprayed primer. after that i sprayed a couple coats of white appliance paint, its pretty shiny.

oh yea and im gonna drop the car lower when it's installed.

If you were gonna put new valve stems on the wheels, you might as well just have taken out the old one so that area of the wheels would also have been painted. You're probably thinking that it might not matter since that area won't be seen (covered by a new stem) but you run less of a risk of paint chipping in that area if the entire area of the wheels was covered in paint.
