Default strip paint off black wheels?

iwant to change color on my slip streams considering my wheels have spots on them and they look horrible. they are black but i want to go bronze. how would i go about painting them. i have painted wheels before but they wer alway silver. since these are black if i were to paint over them wouldnt the black color bleed through the new paint? i was thikning of stipping the paint off but im pretty sure that these are powder coated and wont stop easily. could i primer over the black and then paint bronze?

get 'em powdercoated. It will look much cleaner than just painting and it'll be much more resistant to chipping.
