Default wheel refinishing project

i started my long awaited project today. Im about to start sanding everything in a bit, and hopefully later tonight, ill spray them! Just regular RS wheels, but i cant afford new ones, or to have a pro do it, so im gona take a stab at it. I bought duplicolors wheels paint, the silver stuff. And some clear coat. Ill let yall know how it turns out, i have before pics, ill take some after pics when its done and let yall see how it turned out.

I know it sounds stupid, but I wanted to do that to mine. I like the color. That or strip the paint off mine and polish the aluminum. and for those that ask why didn't you but the polishet thrust's, cuz I like the shape of the original one's better.
