   Spray them a colour so its obv where you painted etc etc when sprayin white a standard grey primer would be perfect IMO
   
   remember even coats not too thick not too thin
   
   I normally do one coat of primer applied quite thick but not too heavy they two coats of top givin a light ruff up with 320grit before the 2nd coat then left to go hard for a day or two then two clear
   
   I spray in a garage sweep it out and place the wheels off the floor to avoid any dust being blown up
   
   You using rattle cans or a gun?
