I need to figure out what grit sandpaper I should use to prep my wheels?

Help me

What condition are they in. Alot of scratches, or just good condition and want to rough them up to paint?

Well they are not perfect, but I just want to paint them, so just enough to scuff them up for paint action.

Last time I did a set, they were a satan finish and I just used steel wool to scuff them.

3M makes good scuff pads for stuff like this, they are available at any parts store. back when I had my accord I used one (i think it was red) to scuff/clean my steelies so that I could respray them black, and it worked really well

Why buy, when all you have to do is ask for some to be delivered, hehe.

Thanks for the advice, I complete forgot about 3M scotch pads, they are on the way this afternoon. I'll be in my basement alone tonight getting drunk scuffing those things up, and crying too!

make sure you use the RED scotchbrite and not the grey or white or yellow or green.
