Paint my steelies white? :D

Should I scuff the wheels? Like with a scotch bright pad? Or 180 grit? Or 320 grit?

OR is that not necessary?
I used to work in a body shop but I never painted a single wheel - at least not on purpose lol.

And I really don't know how well aerosol paints stick to smooth surfaces.

Definitely, scuff them up. Use 80 or 100 girt sandpaper or one of the coarse scotch pads. Also, use the Krylon primer before the paint. Because of the depth of the indented area, you will get a lot of texture (since the overspray kind of hangs there and gets picked up by the paint). That means that you will need to do some sanding between coats (I usually use a fine scotch pad for that part).
