I just did the same on the fronts and rears three weeks ago.

1) Take rims off of the wheel castings.
2) Wash rims/tires.
3) Remove old paint with a knotted wire wheel on your angle grinder.
4) Sand remaining surface until smooth.
5) Wipe with tack cloth.
6) Using electrical tape, tape off the tire immediately adjacent to the rim.
7) Using 3" masking tape, tape off the edge of the electrical tape.
8) Tape plastic wrap to the edge of the masking tape. This should cover the remaining portion of the side of the tire for the rears, or wrap completely around the fronts.
9) Prop the tire up vertically.
10) Set paint gun to spray horizontally.
11) Prime
12) Wait 4 hours. Inspect surface, scuff.
13) Paint. Recoat in 1 hour.
14) Cure for 24 to 48 hours.
15) Remove tape/plastic wrap.
16) Reinstall rims on wheel castings.
17) Open beer. Admire quality of work.
18) Repeat 17.
