The painting of hubcaps

So, as I get my wheels all sorted out here this spring, it comes time to deal with my rather rough looking hubcaps.

I have the four original hubcaps that my truck came with. They are chromed and should look like the top two. As you can see the other 2 don't. The chrome is still nice on all four, and since I need to refinish half of them, I figure I might as well do all four.

How do I go about doing this? I don't have a lot of painting experience.

I figure I can tape off and mask and then rattle can, but I don't anticipate that holding up very well. I have seen alot of really nice looking original hubcaps on here, some painted and some chromed. I figure at least a few of you have had to do this.

Thanks for the input.
