Default Ok. How should you paint a red lip on a wheel?

I'm getting kind of tired of my ST200's, and really want something to set off my car, and just a change in general.

After seeing a bunch of pictures, I'm gonna go with a dark gunmetal wheel/black wheel with a red pinstripe.

But how do you do it?

1) Paint wheels black. Mask off center, paint lip red (spray? or brush?)

2) Paint red lip (spray). Mask off red lip, paint black.

3) Paint wheels black. Take it to a pinstriper, and have them stripe the red in, and then clearcoat.

I understand the entire concept, I'm just not sure what the best order is.
