I recently changed the colour from silver to black gloss (very unforgiving) on my 18's for my Benz wagon.
Bought a kit of alloy wheel paint from eBay comprising of, cleaner/degreaser, primer filler, base coat and lacquer.
As with any painting, it's as much about the prep, but they turned out an absolute treat.
Total cost of paint was about 30 quid iirc.
Been all through the winter months and no corrosion showing.

I've just had a set of alloys shot blast for £12/wheel plus VAT just for the front face, although it also removed most of the paint on the inner face. Certainly got rid of all the paint but does obviously leave a rough finish. Now it's just a case of primer and paint.
