Center Caps on my LC Wheels
Hello all,

I recently got my Landcruiser wheels powdercoated gunmetal (see pics) and obviously I could not have the center caps powdercoated as they are plastic.

My question is, what would you do? Try to find paint that matched? Although it would probably never be the same. Paint them a different color? Leave them off completely?

Looking for opinions. Thanks guys!

You could use the center caps as is and have a different look. But for me I like to match so I would find a Duplicolor paint that matched. Couple of coats and they will be fine.

I would try that but they are all beat up. Years of salt on the roads has done a number on the paint.

I think i'll try plasti-dip first, if I don't like it I can just peel it off.

Plasti-dip will be fine on center caps. Shouldn't get too beat up during wear and tear.
