no sanding!!!!! anytime you want paint to have something to grab onto!! you always need to scuff/sand the piss out of anything you spray/paint!! i would not be surprised of that shit peals off from wind!! chrome is the hardest thing to get paint to stick to!!! you have been better off takin the tires off and getting them blasted and powder coated that way lools better and wont peal from one lil rock chip im the road!!

You are right in most cases... But have you ever heard of Duplicolor Shadow?? Its supposed to give chrome a "black Chrome" and in the instructions it says "DO NOT SAND surface unless you want a "ruff looking surface in your final outcome"... Im starting to think I should have just painted them.. lol

Soooo... I didnt like the way the "shadow" looked on my wheels... It gave them a green tint... So heres what I did, I scuffed up that paint so that the black will.have something to stick to.. ,, 3 coats of black, 3 coats of clear... Heres the outcome
