painting are preping for paint on billet wheels!

anyone have any steps are tips on painting billet wheels and whats the best products out there for it . please discuss

I don't know about paint...But I just had some powdercoated.  

any automotive paint should work fine, just ensure you sand and etch them, with a true etch primer.    

what brand of etch do you recomend and when you dsay sand just mainly scuff the surface down to be painted

any paint store can sell you an etch primer, you'll have the best result if you stay away from rattle can. And a metal prep cleaner wouldnt hurt

id wash em with dishsoap first to get any thing off(grey scuff pad dont hurt either ) dupont's 1k etch primer works pretty good, i did gumps fuel cell with it when i painted it, but that was pushing it with a can.
