Want to spray some silver wheels black which are in good condition so dont need repairing or anything, so just whats the process?
I will be using a compressor and a gun so could you list what il need?
Also shiney or matt? I like both see!

May as well go shiney due to the fact they'll look matt most of the time due to the dirt!! And when you clean them you can have a nice change 
Dunno what you need to spray them, i got mine powder coated

i have matt black wheels, they are a pain in the arse to clean, dirt seems to stick to them and not want to come off. i would go shiny (i am getting them gloss black soon)

well it should be the same as normal car spraying, you will really need to use 2K paint though as cellulose wont be tough enuf. Sand em down and prep em like you would a new wing or whatever and hit it with the relevant layers of paint and lacquer
