Hey guys i was wondering if i can paint my rims on my 01 trans am? They are the brushed aluminum rims. And what grit should I use to sand them down?

I would guess 600 grit you don't wanna go too coarse but enough to take clear coat off.

600, 800 and a self etching primer and you should be good to go. I did these:

i did mine as well. i used aircraft cleaner to strip the clear off, used 1000 grit and wet sanded them, used self etching primer and gloss black paint.

Forgive me, I know it's poor form to resurrect a 3 year old thread, but I can't PM yet.

Duffster, I'd really like to know what paint you used on those wheels. I'm refinishing the wheels on my truck and I want some contrast between the tires and wheels like this, and this color is awesome.
