Painting RIMS

[EK4R]

hey i just want to know if i need to use high temp paint to paint rims as it tends to heat up after a hard drive or can i use normal paint like they use on car panels.

also with regarding polished lip. do i use 200-1000-2000 grit sand paper (in that order)? wet and dry ones or any? and what about good lip polishers?? what and when do i use it, any good ones to recommend?

cheers ppl

not that the rims go in excess heat and you "need" high temp paint, but high themp paint is thicker, easier to have thicker layers. if you're using actual paint and not spray cans normal paint is sufficient.
