Default Sanding plastic wheels

I have some proline 8 shooters in chrome/black and was thinking of sanding it all down lightly with very fine grit sand paper and then hitting it with flat black. Seem like it would work?

I've painted lots of plastic wheels, including chrome wheels, without any sanding or prep and they held up fine. you should be fine with what you're going to do.

Default Why Prep

I've painted alot of plastic wheels over the years, because of running them hard. I just paint the color I want over the old faded paint. Always turned out great for me. Don't worry just paint the Damn wheels!
