Wheel Painting?

Does anyone know of a good technique on how to paint wheels yourself? I would really like to do my own!

thanks

Prepping is the most important. Then light even coats.

+1 ^^ Prep is THE most important step. Clean your rims really well and make sure you get off as much grime and crap off of them as possible. After that take some sand paper and sand off the paint that is on them and then a few coats of primer followed by several coats of desired paint.
