I paint rims all the time...the reason you see paint chip on rims is because people dont take time to sand them all the way down. Ive had one rim chip on me and thats why it chipped. I didnt take the time to sand it down. and why would the face get cloudy? overspray? if you have someone paint them make sure they sand them down all the way, etch prime them, then paint them.
