Default Painting my rims any help?

hey i have some 15's that came on my car, but they're not stock. I'm not sure what they r cuz the caps r gone but i'm pretty sure they're rota's. anyways i want to paint them gunmetal because i'm saving for a CTR engine and i don't want to blow 1000-plus dollars. Do i have to get them powder coated or can i do it myself for the meantime? if i can do it myself can i use spray paint from checker auto and a top coat sealant? if i did that will it look better? I will eventually get rims after the engine but i want to paint these in the mean time. thanks

I believe they make special paints specifically for rims. Check at Autozone.

And not that you asked, But I would buy a B18C1 over a B16B.
