just make sure the wheels are "CLEAN,CLEAN,CLEAN". can't say that enough. it's all in prep and cleaning. this might help though:

you need some soap to wash the wheels, index cards to prevent the paint from getting on the tires, paint, clear coat, primer, sand paper, maybe some painters paint and lots of patience... take your time and you will do it right, let it dry completely before putting back onto your car, painted my hx rims

not too bad for a first try give the guy a break. Atleast since it's black you wont notice as much the curb rash. The first valve cover I painted didn't come out that good either. I didn't do as many coats of paint as I should of cause I was fearing drips. Didn't really notice untill after I clear coated. Make sure to have good light from different angles if you do it again.
