It must be that time of year, I got my wife to paint mine Sunday. Her artistic ability and patience made her the best candidate for the job. Now all I need is a car to put them on.

I did the same thing. I could never figure out why people spend fortunes on painted center caps. You can do excellent job if you take your time. I used auto touch-up paint and it's held up well for 3 yrs. Get red, gold, and black all for about $10.00
