Best way to paint the wheel weights on gloss black rims

I was able to spray paint the tops of them, but couldn't easily do the sides out of fear of hitting the calipers and hubs.

Wondering if a jet black touch up paint bottle would do the trick- or a paint pen, but I don't want it to look streaky or textured along the inside of the rim where the outline of the wheel weight sits.

It's just the lip of the weight along the edge of them, the tops are now black.

Anyone ever paint these before?

Never done that but if the wheel weights are the only unpainted bits try masking around them with tape and spray paint them. Let us know what you tried

Why not just remove the wheel for easy access?
