   Spray them yourself mate its not too difficult. Never done alloys myself but I can't imagine them being much harder than headlights or grilles

   depends on what finish your looking for really. However its that difficult to get them to shine anyway. Depends if you have the patience and time to spray them yourself

   you will get a better finish if you get them power coated and theres less chance of them chipping

   Usually lacquered power doesn’t dull the paint as much a spray guns but if you get the right paint. But it’s going to cost the same so I would encourage power it’s a better finish.
