the rims were alloy not sure if polished or not but i sanded them with 400grit real well and them used paint prep sray and wiped them down real good. Painted 4 coats of krylon BBQ/stove paint.
The truck took 14 cans to do it right 3 coats evenly sprayed. I could of held out for a spray gun and quart of paint but not lookin good weather wise and I would of painted it outside so Im happy how she turned out...
