Painting OEM rims on 1987 Aero 50

Hello....

Can someone share their experiences with the proper/ successful way to paint a set of OEM rims for a Honda Aero 50?

Sanding, priming and then paint?

Is it best to take it to a body-paint shop and have it professionally done?

-----------------------------------
I'm REALLY diggin' NOVS86 Honda Aero 50 "Silver Bullet" paint job on the rims.

WOULD LOVE to know how he did it....

------------------------------------

Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Post up pictures if you got any!

Best regards,

Patrick

If I'm gonna do rims, I will powder coat instead of paint. It will stand up better to what the rims have in their environment.

I have bead blasted, cleaned with MEK, put into an oven at 125' to warm them up. Then I used some left over Guncoat ( paint for firearms), and baked in the oven ( dont do this when the wife is home, she will kick your &$$).

So far, so good.
