The only thing I can tell you is this....tell them to use the touch less wheel machine. It's a $14k machine that a lot of Discount Tire centers are now buying because they are ruining so many wheels. I had to have them use it on my old SS with the old painted wheels.
Most wheels aren't all nice and shiny clean like ours. Most are all dirty, jacked up, beater rims and soccer mom rims. Nothing nice and clean and good about them. Most folks won't know. But it's a growing trend to actually have nice rims...clean rims... and their normal machines WILL deface and damage stock rims. You gotta WATCH them in everything they do!

Exactly, the better machines cost a lot and most shops don't spend the big cash for them because it takes so long for it to pay back. And I agree that 90% of the jobs it doesn't matter.
This Winter I'm getting all 4 of my ZL black rims powder coated by my guy who does the powder coating work for my '67 and it'll be a 100X better than the job GM did. You may want to consider going that route instead of painting them.
