Here is what that process looks like on a GD3 :P
I painted the wheel from flat black to gloss black. Sanded, primed twice, 3 coats of acrylic enamel paint from autozone. I'm not a pro, but at night it looks mucho bettero than flat black and I can't afford new wheels or powdercoat! See here's a before pic:

better pic of finished product:
All I need now is new tires. These Enkeis came with washedout oldass tires. Everything is blacked out on my car except the tires! lol sorry for threadjack but it was kinda on topic because of caliper painting!

I was thinking of painting the tires actually lol but it would fade and crack so fast...besides, the date on the tires said 2003. The guy said they have 50k miles but it shakes my car a bit and I think it needs an upgrade...

My Grandmother had the factory tires on her car (It was a Holden Gemini - like a Chevette) for around eight years. They never wore out, they cracked from age. Scared me a couple of times too - absolutely grip-free.
Nice job painting the wheels BTW.
