Here's a start:
Summit Racing's wheel paint section
Summit Racing's filler/primers section
I just got some cans of clear coat at home depot. As express705 said, any clear coat at home depot will work. I found rust-o-leum clear coat. . .it's good on metal, although you'll be coating "paint" not metal.

I'd post to a bunch of wheel painting DIY's, but we want to support the G community with our own. express! Cleared to DIY, please expedite release!

That's very generous of you, but it's no big deal. I feel like I should give you a little something for the time you will spend on it.

I have one quick question before you write it up. Will it be more difficult if I wanted to make the rims a really deep glossy black color, or will it basically be the same process except with a different color paint?
