Default Painting Wheels

So, I have set out to paint my Stock STi BBS wheels. Yes, I'm spray painting my uber-expensive stockers myself, yes i know I can ruin the wheels. However, I've done this before with success.

The only difference is, this time, I'm doing it with the tire still mounted. A bit more challenging, but if I overspray, no big deal,,, the rims are going to be tire color anyway.

I have just completed thorough cleaning, as well as a heavy steel wool application, to rough up the surface. There's no way I'm wet sanding these wheels, it will take me two months. I think the surface is good enough for painting, so I'm off to find the right paint now...

Update to come later.
