With respest Adam when I bought mine lt had nice newly repainted wheels done by the guarage  who sold it , the wheels  soon flaked  after a few miles and car washes  Basicly a flash over to make them look nice to sell but a poor job .Uless you can get the paint to stick realy well and a protective clear coat I would say you will be better off after the time and trouble by doing it yourself, in going to have them done buy people who have all the bits to do them well.I have no dought that you will make a good job yourself but it may not last to long even more so with winter comming up soon.The people buy me take the tyre off check for warped rims  and any damage wich they fix ,dip em in acid to get rid of old paint.electricaly charge the rim so that the coating sticks and then bakes on the coating in an oven so as good as new refit the tyre and ballance so you get what you pay for.

Anyone sprayed there wheels was thinking of doing mine to save the cost of haveing them done 

Not too hard if they're unscuffed, just make sure you rub them down thoroughly, degrease them and take your time.
