Here's his old car you're probably thinking of. Its a huge build thread, might take some digging.

I'm pretty sure he just sanded them down, hit them with primer, and then used duplicolor spray cans to coat and clear them.

 

I've used gold paint, just brake clean and primer, didn't even sand. Turned out great, just gotta spray properly. Mine were pretty clean thats why I didn't sand or scuff them

 

No matter how clean they are, everything being painted needs to be scuffed. Simply painting is fine until something happens (chip, scratch, etc) then it starts coming off like plastidip.

paint will be ok till you go to take the tire off and if the edge of the rim is painted there is a good chance it will start to chip/flake/fail.

 

Nonetheless, paint work is only as good as the prep job.

 

Yeah, take your time with it for sure. I'm a fan of VHT paints, the gold I've used for a lot of stuff is engine paint. It lays thick, it lays suuuuper easy, and it dries quick, and it looks great. And its pretty dang robust.
