thats probably good advice. Really I've just been trial and erroring, and my method worked for me. If you can sand blast your rims then I'd say go for it. From what I've found, the more you can rough up the surface to give the paint something to hold onto, the better. I've heard some people talk on here about some sticky compound that works to hold spray paint to surfaces..called bulldog or something..might want to check that out.

the main thing is to be very patient. In a day, you may only get a few coats done, with sanding in between. You'll have to wait for the paint to get nice and dry before sanding, so you dont sand off what you just did.

good luck, and dont do it on a windy day.
