Everything you need to know is in those threads i think

i'd nitromors them then rub down with 320 grit wet and dry with water.
then 400 grit and finish with 600's,again wet.
put a guide coat of primer on,i always use black and rub down again with 400's,this will show up any marks you may have missed.
once your happy with the surface clean and dry thoroughly.
warm the wheel with a hairdryer and start priming,leave for around 20mins then light rub with 1200 to flat the paint,
paint again an do the same till your happy with the surface

painting is roughly the same but i leave for around 30mins between coats,dont go too daft too soon or you risk runs.

this is by no means gospel but i've done loads of wheels and this is the process i use.

just an example

cheers mate

does anyone have anymore tips?

yeah got half a wheel done today getting all the blister bits smoothed down and level and that took me overs 2 hrs lol but i started with the worst wheel so that one is out the way quickly.i now just need to rub the rest of the wheel down now.

iv got sore fingers :(
