Default Any of you guys ever painted your wheels?

Hey everyone, I have a black 99 frc with black c6 zo6 wheels and Kinda want a gunmeatal grey or silver wheel. I also would like to go from a 19" in the rear to a 18" due to the better tire selection. I have found that one of my cheapest options would be to buy two more black 18x10.5 and paint all my wheels, but am worried that it would look cheap. If I did do this I would be using a actual paint gun not spray paint. Any suggestions?

I painted my wheels couple months ago. We used Dupont Chromabase Arctic White to match car. They look amazing. I dont drive the car often so not sure about durability but I'm really happy with it.

Plasti dip is the way to go since it's really easy to just pull it all off if you don't like it.

But if you are set on "painting" them you could always get them powdercoated.
