Anyone know if you can paint/refinish stock rims?

I have a few scratches on my stock rims and I will not be buying rims anytime soon so is there a way to strip down and repaint the stock rims? I heard something about powdercoating at one time. I'd like to get white or black painted rims.

Can this be done? How? What do I need to do?

Yeah, as long as the scratches are light & there aren't pieces missing out of the wheels, you can powdercoat them any color you want. However, since you can't powdercoat plastic, you may have trouble getting the center caps to match.
