Get them powder coated. It's harder wearing. Costs around £35 a wheel from most places.

Right, quite a few questions there!
The wheels are in excellent condition, they have never been painted, they are 13" and i live in Sevenoaks in Kent. PHEW!!

If your local To the medway towns (Kent) then Theres a place near me (CCL) who do shot blasting and powder coating.
They did my BMX frame for £20...
So At a Guess, Id say a set of wheels would be no more than about £60
THats powdercoat too. VERY HEAVYDUTY PAINT!

Basically it's a coloured powdered paint (not really, but close enough!). It's electrostatically charged, so when it's sprayed onto parts, it sticks. This is then backed in an oven which "melts" the powder.
It gives you a thicker and more durable coating than paint.

Can you then apply a lacquer to give a shiny, gloss glaze coat?
Or am I thinking of a completely different process?

You could do, but think of the extra unsprung weight?
No need. It comes out relatively shiney anyhow. You must be thinking of something else.....
