How would you prep wheels, rub down to smooth paint then paint over, rub down/shot blast to bare metal, then prime & paint?

(I know that's very simplistic, but I'm thinking of DIY and whether a rub down to get the wheel fairly smooth then lash on some smooth Hammerite would actually be OK - I know it won't be perfect)
