is there any good way to paint your stock center caps?

im looking in painting stock wheels or getting them powder coated and i want to get the caps to match.

Yeah, Bizzybear has painted wheels and center caps. Check with him or Nomar.

If someone can paint your wheels they can definitely paint your centercaps.

Are you painting the wheels yourself?

nah i want them powdercoated. so you think if i brought the caps to the place that powder coats them they can probably help me out?

Probably, some plastics can be powdercoated. If not they can probably paint them.

Only thing I might watch out for is the extra thickness the paint will add. On Nomar's wheels the painted the center caps and they were reluctant to pop in, was a pretty tight fit. Not too big a deal though.
