Default need help on wheel color

Hey guys i got 4 days off coming up on wednesday and im thinking about painting the wheels one of those days. My car is silverstone with stock ap2v2. I was thinking about going with gold, gunmetal or mag blue. Id like any opinions you guys have and any tips you might have aswell. I would be using aircraft stripper followed by alittle sanding and then a degreaser would that work out well. Also once i do this would it lower the value of the rims since stock color is gone? Heres a pic of my car and if anyone can photshop all those colors i would really appreciate it and if you have any pics of the stock ap2v2 with those colors please post . Thanks alot guys

so i wasnt able to get my hands on enough white plasti dip. Local ace only had 2 cans, which i now know would have not been enough. So i went with black. I decided to do only 2 wheels today and the other 2 tomorow. I had a horrible time getting the wheel lock off as it was way overtorqued. I had to take it to a shop so they can get them off with an air gun bc i was starting to strip them. Anyways heres some pics.
