If I were to paint my wheels.......

Im thinkin of paintin my wheels, and wanted to know a few things jus so i dont screw anything up. Would I be correct in assuming that the 92 SE OEM rims arent painted? And, would it be a good idea to sand the wheels before painting them just so I have a smooth surface? Thanks for the input...I was thinkin of silver just to get that OEM shine back, whatcha think bout the color?

Check the "painted wheels" thread on this page. I just posted the procedure I used when I painted both sets of my Maxima SE wheels.
