Default Spray can painting center cap crests...

Using the search, -I can't find a thread from some time ago which had some paint recommendations for the gold etc. on the center caps...

Can anyone point me to the thread, or does anyone have good ideas for the paint colours... -specially the gold?

TIA,

Keith

Perfick!!!

-I was looking for that all over!

Right... -I just picked up a set of center caps for my polished Turbo-S rims, and I've polished two of them up... I want to paint the centers because the originals on my car are looking a bit sad, but I don't want to 'ride dirty' without center caps while I do the refurb.

This way I can refurb the spare set and -even if I completely **** it up- I will be no worse off than I already am.

Thanks again!

Keith
