Default Budget Paint Job for Car and Wheels

So, I got a red 96 hatch and I've been wanting to paint it. I been hearing about this roll on method with Rustoleum and I was wondering if the paints needs lots of maintaining? Can I put a clear coat on it? Is there a better way to do it that doesn't cost much more?

Wheels, can I use any paint to paint my wheels or does it have to have high temperature properties? I would like to paint then bronze or gold to match my red car. Can you help link up paint for it?

something like this or maybe a bit darker.

Maaco can definitely be a shot in the dark. You definitely want to look around for a recommended Maaco in your area because you could get burned by going to one that really sucks. However, at least Maaco uses real automotive paint and is not ghetto and retarded like rolling rustoleum on a car.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to do something inexpensively, but doing something cheap is just stupid.
