Anyone in Southern California know how to paint Rims?

Hi i want to paint my scion tc stock rims black. Ive seen videos and instructions on how to do it. It seems simple enough clean, sand, primer ,then paint but i am too scared to mess it up for i have absolutely no painting experience whatsoever. is there anyone in socal anaheim cerritos area that has painted their rims and willing to paint mine? im willing to pay. What are the pros and cons for painting ur rims? will i need to repaint them? if so how ofter?

aha...if you want some practice before you paint your stocks, try painting your spare tire. it's an ugly looking yellow, so you can try painting it black. win win situation.

I painted mine, and I'll do yours for 100 bucks. Otherwise it's not worth my time =[

Pictures of the paint job I did to my car in early June. They're still holding up perfectly.
