NO you just sand them as you would a painted surface .
if there is no damage you have to sand out you can sand them with a red pad .
wipe them down after sanding with pre paint cleaner then tack off and paint .

I have just powder coated mine as close to chrome I can, so now its time for the black coating that fuchs usually have. So you say thats no problem coating a second layer of powder coat over the just painted layer? Is this what you're describing, just sand, then mask and p.coat?

my guess is he was looking to use automotive paint over powder coating .
this can be done all you would do is sand then paint as you do with any other type of finish .

as for doing the centers of the fuch's in there mat black yes you would mask off the areas you want to keep the chrome look and prep and paint the center of the wheels the black .
