You can do it yourself if you have the time. You dont need special alloy wheel paint, just a good quality paint. You'd need to sand down your current wheels and re-paint followed by laquer. If you have 15" wheels, lap-tab in birmingham will probably charge about 25-30 per wheel (if you deliver them without tyres).
