I just had my 20" 168's painted in metallic black, they used dupont paint and dupont chromaclear - finish is great - they didnt remove the tyres, they just deflate them & break the bead.

There are some pics in my photo album on here but they are not close ups.
I have done some spray painting in my time but I didnt take this one on as I dont have the right gear anymore - for paint its simply enough coats until you get good cover, for clear its normally two coats or more. You need to ensure the paint & clear coat are compatible. As for any spray job preparation is the key, I have done rims a few years ago and its not that easy especially if the rims have a lot of detail in them. Good luck but Id prefer to pay $400-$500 and have it done professionally these days.
