Default Painting my rims

Thinkin about painting my rims this week. I'm gonna mask off the aluminum part and paint the silver parts. I'm gonna either try to paint them black with clearcoat, black metallic with clearcoat, or light pewter metallic with clearcoat to match my body paint.
I know Igot10pinitis did his rims, and I don't know who else, but if anyone has any tips, I'm all ears.

all you do is mask them off, scuff em up and spray them. I wouldhit them with epoxy primer first though.1 light coat will be good. That stuff will stick to anything! Be sure to take the tape off the wheels while the clear coat is still wet. If you don't it could turn into big problems if you peel the tape off while its dry.
