When painting rims do you wire brush and re-paint the inside or just remove the loose stuff? Not one to usually cut corners but it makes no sense to me in painting what ya can't see. What do you do?

Another good reason for painting the inside of the rim is so that the rust on he inside dosen't wear a hole in the nice new tubes and you get to take it all apart again.

Just like Ron said, but slightly different slant - wait 'til you try to remove that tyre in umpteen years time, when the rust holds it on the rim and the tube is thick with rust stuck to it. Then you will remember you could have done better all those years ago..... and it will still be needing to be done. Or worse still, needing new rims just for the cost of a coat of paint. It doesn't need to be a fantastic finish, just a practical anti-corrosion treatment.

Paint makes them pretty but more importantly it protects them. The sign of a good mechanic is that he takes pride in everything... visible or not.
