Re: Painting RS Rims
When I did the ones on my firebird, I used clearcoat remover to remove the clearcoat and the paint. I then polished the lip and the highs with sandpaper 100-2000, then use mothers mag wheel polish to get a high luster. I then washed the wheel, let it dry. Taped it off, and used high heat engine paint . Then when I was satisfied, I re cleared the entire wheel.

I just used some high heat engine enamel on my wheels yesterday. Worked great and looks awesome. I believe it was Rustolem brand. Just cleaned them, and sprayed it on.
