I actually had better luck just spraying my basketweaves when they were clean, than I did stripping, priming, and painting my Voxx. I'm sure sanding would be just fine.

With powder coaters being a dime a dozen it could be done relatively cheap as long as they put several layers of tape (i'm thinking 3 layers of masking tape followed by three layers of duct tape) on the lip before the blast it. I don't trust paint on wheels. Seen to many wheels with chipped body matched paint. My sprocket on my bike is powdercoated and it has not chipped. Do it once and do it right.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Redondo beach area. I got 21 pieces for my motorcycle powdercoated for $180. They said they could do the frame for under $300 any color i wanted. Last set of wheels cost me $200 i think but that was for some big a$$ truck wheels. They are so good to me i even get minor stuff around the house powdercoated.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Did not think about the clear coat. Most of the wheels i saw there were goiong to be mirror polished afterwards. I remember paying something like $80 a wheel for my motorcycle to get them stripped and fully polished from a rough bumpy cast. Could not be to much to just polish a smooth lip.
But enough thread jacking and on with the wheels
