Refinishing Hub Caps
They cost like a few hundred from Porsche so thinking of trying to strip, sand and repaint myself. Anyone have any experience? Thanks

They're plastic right? Then I'd find a model building club in your area to help with advice. They're experts on painting plastic.
Doesn't look that hard, only one main color then the lettering.

I painted mine by hand about 9 years ago. Still looking great!

Don't strip them using anything chemical, Just sand smooth and primer til smooth, apply few thin coats of silver, then black for lettering, clear coat all when dry.
