Hey, I am having my sahara stocks powder coated for 50\rim in Cleveland. Seen pics and love the look. Will hold up better than paint!

I painted my 18" wheels and love it
I sanded with 320 grit (and wire brushed) and then sprayed water to remove the grit. I then taped the tires and then painted the 5 wheels with Rustoleum Metalic Black.
Oh and they look great after many months of off roading trips, both clean and dirty

looks like you did a good job on them. my only concerns would be chipping during off roading but apparently yours are holding up well. thanks for the pics. very helpful.
