re: painting rims question
I assume your using spray equipment. I would sand the white but not the clear. Although bad orage peel is nasty, good orange peel is great. Wet sanding clear and removing the "rough, but gloosy" surface weakens the job against rock chips and such. If the clear looks good just let it be. Same goes if your using rattle cans.
