Serious question- can you use sandpaper and a spray paint can ? Get the tire/s removed and clean the wheels . Use sandpaper to remove and feather the scratches . Clean the wheels again . If all looks and feels good then hit them with spray paint of choice .
Different story if you want them powder coated or Cerakote . Those finishes are generally considered pro finishes . They will media blast and then coat . The plus is these finishes are very tough . Downside is they are not easily touched up like spray paint .

Oh man yeah multi-piece work is just as expensive, luckily the OP has regular wheels so that job is so much easier. I curbed a set of flow formed Vorsteiners on my VW and luckily there was no barrel damage, they'll true wheels as well and that gets a little pricey for a set of 4.

Easy, no more than $100-$200 bucks. Dealers usually have someone that does it or a powder coater would be a good bet. I think my wheels were around $175ish to coat and the included new tire mounting and center caps.
