Painting over anodized surfaces

[Kykdaar]

Been surfing the Net for a clear "how to", but no real luck.

I want to re-paint my current anodised rims.

There seems to be two schools of thought -

1. Completely remove the anodising in one of a number of ways and then paint.
2. Anodising is a form if porous dye, just scuff a bit, apply a pre-primer, primer and paint.

I like solution two, but lack the detail and local product range knowledge to execute properly.

Any help and advise will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
