Painting polish lip, any special prep required? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I am looking to paint my wheels, they have polished lip and my painter told me that I need special prep to get the anodizing off which is kinda expensive. Anyone has any idea if what I need to do to have the paint stick and not chipping in couple months?

These are the wheels and I am looking to have the lip painted Gloss black.

PS: This is not a discussion thread about polished lip vs painted lip. So if you think I shouldn't paint my wheels, you can keep that to yourself. Thanks
