DIY Sandblasters are available from many Autoparts stores such as superche@p, they are not that expensive & if you decide to paint more then just one set of rims it will pay for itself in no time. An alternative is enquire at powder coaters, they have industrial size machines that use various mediums to effectively sand blast items prior to the powdercoating process. I got a quote in Sydney for $50 per rim in solid colours, so that may also be an alternative to the ghetto diy black paint job. Good luck

I am looking at doing mine too but not sandb-lasting, I don't think it's required.

Depending on the new colour, get some etch-primer either white or gray.

Ensure the rim is absolutely clean and masked extrnally and covered internally(brakes etc)

The trikiest bit for me is the wheel nuts, so I'll just get some new ones after.

I'm planning on a charcoal colour with a low gloss level.

I've done this before and light coats about 1 foot from the job is best.

Pick a warm day with the least amount of wind.

Don't do 1 wheel at a time, clean them all, mask them and then prime ec.

Cheers.
