after sanding, use the white gas to clean it again. just pour a little on a clean rag and wipe it into the rim. this SUPER cleans it. ( this step is optional, but since the rims are very visible, you want them to be super nice when your done. using the gas just helps clean it up that little extra bit)
anywho...
start masking the area around the tire with tape and paper. you can see from the picture that i got kinda creative. but its all up to you on how it gets done.

just make sure you cover the tire. nothing worse than a colored tire
now you start the fun part.....
begin the priming.
