To do it correctly:
1) Unmount tire

5) Powder coat
6) Bake
7) Powder coat again (optional)
8) Bake
9) Clear coat
10) Bake
11) Mount and balance tire
IÂ’m sure somebody will spraypaint your wheels for $100 but nobody can do a proper job for $100

Even though this would be an accurate statement for most, for me - this is an incorrect statement.
I use to have a shop down in FL that use to do it for me.. Bent Rim Repair - Best in FL - was a Venezuelan dude I believe, good man - I found him when he was renting a little spot in a plaza, now he is a big dog -

Granted this was a few years back, but he did every single thing you listed part of his paint process. And he would even fix the bends/scrapes for me if there was any. If you give him a custom color scheme, just provide him the color codes and he will do whatever you want.
For my E90 I went with a sparkling graphite lip with a gloss black face to match my Sparkling Graphite Metallic color on E90 - Can't find a pic to show on the car
For my F30 I just had him do gloss black on the factory wheels.
