Default wheels for 636

ok, i decided not to have them chrome plated, because im tired of seeing so much chrome on all the guys around here bikes. i think i am going to get them painted green just like bike. my question is do i need to have wheels sand blasted, or stripped or what first? 1 other question is should they be clear coated after paint, or use paint that is paint and clear in one. thanks
