Default DIY polished lip (rims)

I really want a polished lip on the rotas I may buy off of a friend. HIs are painted flat black and I was wondering if it is possible to sand down to a bare metal and polish from there. Any ideas or suggestions you guys/gals may have could prove dear to the process and undertaking. Thanx in advance!!

peace
