What did you use to paint them?

I need to fill that stupid horsey on my center caps before I use them.

I wanted to fill mine in too, but I don't have those skills nor the time.

I used this paint. Worked pretty good. The nozzle sucked though. Really hard to press down. I think it's been on the shelf for a while. Whenever I would switch over to the Engine Paint can (for my exhaust) I would throw down a mess of paint.

The caps flex when you put them on and take them off, and bondo doesnt flex.
It's Gumby's fault.

The caps (or at least these) don't flex that much if at all in the center. The tabs do most of the flexing.

Well I got them done....


The paint works out pretty well.

The guy who mounted them did not even scratch them....I'm very impressed.

How's your paint holding up Chuck? Mine is starting to chip around the rim. Pun unintended.
