Default powdercoating polished lip?

so ive been thinking about this for a while, i currently have black zr1s with the polished lip (See sig) and id like to maybe...color match the lip to the same color as my car and get them powdercoated, or painted, or something. i havent seen this done and would wonder how i would do this. would powdercoating be the way to go? if anyones good at photoshopping say so and ill send a pic your way. i think itd be different but just not sure how to get it done.

I dont think it would look right on a wheel with no lip. The ZR1s have hardly any lip to them.

if i do paint the lip i want it done right though, should i get it painted with some sort of automobile paint + clear coat? i almost think itd be better on my car because of the small lip, itd be more subtble almost like a wheel stripe but im not a fan of stickers on my wheels so thats a little too cheap for me. i may do that temporarily to see how it looks though.
