spray paint rims

You can always plasti-dip them first, then use the real paint on top to see how'd they look or if you like them, then peel it off and use the sanding, primer, real paint process e.t.c. to paint them. If you do do it, post pics!
idk what sandpaper, paint and clear coat you're buying that totals to over $100...
powder coating will hold up better and last longer... mine are currently getting powder coated gunmetal.... something like $200.
To prep the wheels the correct way, sand them, paint them (barrels included), and clear coat them... you are looking at a little over $100. spare the extra $100 and have them powder coated imo.

I've painted a lot of wheels & always get asked if they are power coated,
Here is my car when they were matte TE37 bronze.

Here is gloss gunmetal. (Also new paintjob, slight color change I hated the soft infiniti paint so I now have lexus galaxy blue pearl with a custom mixed emerald mist with a I believe lexus clear coat)
