UTFS regards painting rims. There is a thread with lots of good info and tips. It's easy, and works well if you do it properly. I've got quite a hard finish before using a spray alu primer on the sanded surface.
Painting a braking surface is a waste of time though. All it will do is make a mess, perhaps also some noise, then your back where you started (but with worse braking).
