well depending on what you want to do for graphics i would be more than happy to take a look at your bike and give you an estimate from there. You can paint your rims with standard automotive paint and they wont crack. only chipping issues would be caused by changing tires. Personally I would get the wheels powder coated if you are to change their color.

in theory you could probably get it at a parts store like auto zone or napa. but almost for sure from a paint supplier.

I have never seen powder coat fade. it might have been powdercoated a satin color and not high gloss.
