    wash with dish detergent to rid of oil, grease, grim, 400 grit wet, duplicolor high build primer, and that duplicolor wheel paint stuff. dont have to clear it. that will hold up fine.

    this is exactly wat i used and my wheels are still in great condition since i painted them over a year ago. my first 2 coats of the base were light then got thicker on the 3rd & 4th. this will prevent runs in the paint if ur not very skilled w/ a paint can
