Here's my favorite combination of poisons. I used the same combination to paint the alloy wheels of my truck about 8 years ago, and it's still holding up!
Since my stand didn't allow me to take off the front wheel, I simply masked off all the surrounding stuff with bags and painter's tape.
After about only 2 hours, I had a finished product! I'm very satisfied with it...there's just a few remaining areas to touch up with flat black model paint, and of course the inside of the forks are still silver, but there's a nice gradient to it and it's hardly noticable.
