Ok so im gunna paint my steelies. Going to try and do them all black with a red lip. Was just wondering if this was the right way to go about it.

Sand
Primer
Spray completely black.
Mask off center.
Spray lip red.
Laquer.

Or do i have it completely wrong?

personali, i wouldt try spraying a lip, us bike tape or get a local grafics place to make your some red cirules then stick them on will be lot easyer...

paint wise,
x2 prime sand 320,
paint black sand 600,
paint.
clear coat.
