[QUOTE="93Cobra#2771, post: 3462193, member: 4599"] Reason why I say to prime first is that you'll need to prime, then sand, then prime, then sand until all the pores/pits are filled on the spokes. Sometimes, during that process, you might get a little wild while sanding and go further out on the lip than you mean to. If that happens, you get to repolish the lip. Once you get than part done, you'll start the polishing process. Heck, you don't even have to tape the lip off, as the primer will come right off with a little elbow grease, plus it will let you see if you have any imperfections during the polishing process. Sanding on the lip will give you a nice straight line after the primer comes off, without leaving a thick, bumpy primer line. After the lip is polished, then go back and tape the lip off GOOD. Then spray with a good black basecoat. Remove the masking tape. Fine sand the black line where it transitions to the polished lip. you don't want an obvious seam, so just knock the edge down. Look it over for any trash and in the base and sand any trash out. Then you are ready for the clear. Clear the WHOLE rim, and it should be golden, without ever having to polish the lip again.
