What happens here

After initial cleaning, thoroughly scuff the surface of the rims using 80-grit sandpaper. This process removes any remaining shine, polish, or clear coat and creates a textured surface that allows the new paint to adhere effectively. Pay close attention to all spokes, edges, and recessed areas to ensure complete scuffing. You can use a rag to help with the scrubbing motion.

Goal: Create a textured surface for optimal paint adhesion.

Tools and materials

  • 80-grit Sandpaper — Roughening the rim surface for paint adhesion
  • Rag — Aiding in the scrubbing motion
