Get some tape and tape off everything but the lip or tape right below the lip and then plastic bag the rest so the over spray doesnt catch it. i am sure the painting procedures are the same as painting anything else Rough it up primer rough it up and paint..

yeah these are what i read first, but it doesnt really illustrate much on just doin the lip...but ill figure it out...when I get my new rims ill do this to my old rims first just to test waters...but do i have to dismount my wheels fron the tires to do this? most likely so im guessin
