Anyone ever paint wheels?

Well im picking up C5 wagon wheels from maroman88 tommorow and Im going to be painting them black. Anyone have any experience w/ this. I did my research and this is what I found.

Supplies
1 can of duplicolor primer
4 cans of duplicolor black wheel paint
320 grit sandpaper
1 can of acetone
Simple green
Painters tape

Steps
1.Clean wheels good w/ simple green.
2.Sand the wheels w/ 320 grit.
3.Tape up edge's of wheels to prevent overspray on your tires.
4.Wipe down wheels w/ acetone to get rid of dust,oil,etc.
5.Primer the wheels, wait to dry then repeat. 3 light coats.
6.Wait to dry then spray paint wheels black...3-4 coats.

Now I never done this before. This is what I got from a google search from a chevy forum so any added advice would be appreciated...Thx guys.
