Default Painting Wheels

How hard would it be to paint these kind of wheels black? Would I have to take it to someone, or could I do? Just looking for any suggestions or opinions. Thanks.

You CAN paint them yourself and they can look decent but I wouldnt. I would take them to a good powdercoater and have them do it. And like Tim37 said, it will run you about $100-150 and it will last alot longer and look alot better.

Here is a good site to check out... it also includes prices. They would charge $105 to powdercoat all 4 wheels. And you can also get custom colors, fades, etc. Basically anything you want (including metallics)
