What's the right way to paint hubcaps? - Toyota Yaris Forums

FYI for those following this thread, i wanted to note that your earlier posts say you did 1000 grit THEN 600 grit. Your results look great, but people looking to do this should walk UP in grit, moving from 600 (coarse to file down rough spots) to 1000 (to smooth the surface). Great look IMHO!

Hum... good to know for future references. The next thing Im planning to do is to paint the inside's control panel (where the AC controls and radio are) white, so, Im sure its pretty much the same process, but what grit paper would u recommend? and of course, in what order. Im more concerned with this one cuz its the inside and I have to look at it while I drive, so dont wanna mess it up...
