just painted centre caps. Pics included
Ok. Just painted my centre caps and had to show everyone! Very happy with them so far... Now all I have to do now is wait a day and spray clear.

thanks guys.
it took me about 2 hours to paint the first one. Havent finished painting the rest of them yet.
brush sizes used are a size 0 nd 1.
Got the paint from a hoby shop. paint brand is TAMIYA COLOUR. its an enamel paint so should last for ever.
cleaned them down with pure terpentine and yeah just painted. 3 coats is a must of each colour though.

I did mine similarly, but added yellow to the center and made the PORSCHE letters black. I pshopped yours a bit, but coloring the letters was too difficult for me in pshop. I would have photographed mine but the car is at a shop. BTW, I used Testor's model car paint enamel.

I did mine exactly the same way VA911 did his. But I didn't get he finish he got. I think a lot of porsche owners could do this only with some enamel paints and a spray paint of gold for the background. So easy.

After painting & sanding one center cap several times . . .
I came to the conclusion that painting the center first & then masking it & then sanding & spraying the black part last gave me the best look. I'm useless at micro-painting though.
