This is how I do it too! I remove the old tires (even I plan on re-using them) sand or sandblast the wheels, prime them, and then go to the tire shop and have them mount the tires, leave them loose on the rims, do not seat the beads or install the valve stems. After you get them painted run them back by the tire shop, have them install the valve stems, and inflate with air, no chipping of the paint whatsoever!
