Question painting wheels

Does anyone have experience painting their wheels? I just ordered enkei RPF1's and I think they are great looks, price, and weight but I would really like black or gunmetal. I saw schleppy's wheels looked like stock but were black. I have a friend that had his powder coated but he thought that they got warped when he had it done, so he bought SSR competitions.

Spray can it. Sanded the clearcoat, 2-3 layers of paint, 2-3 layers of topcoat/clearcoat. It's been almost 3 weeks daily driving and still pretty good. Best thing about it... resanding and repainting is easy.
