Default Who has painted their wheels themselves???

I need tips on painting my wheels "Graphite Grey". What is the process like sanding it down first or do i just paint it? And also what paint is recommended to use and where to get them? I already did a search and it was no use.

i painted my old HX wheels and they came out cool. i wet sanded it with a 800 grit, degreased it, rinsed it, dried it and painted it. Do the inner part of the wheel first.

sand them. I didn't sand mine and the color and quality turned out great but the paint will chip off easier if you don't sand them.
