very easy.
1 clean them ,get all dirt and grease etc off
2 sand them lighty all over (this will help new paint stick)
3 wash them again
4 when dry shoot them with 5 or 6 coats of spray paint
5 shoot them with clear coat

I painted some s-lites flat black,came out perfect. Even did it with tires still on. Just tape them up to avoid overspray. don't be afraid to do it, its very very easy. good luck, also google painting wheel, should be info out there.
