Center caps - how to get 'em black?

Shamish

So I have a 2012 TE. I want to make the center caps in the wheels black like they were back in the day when I had my 1992 SR5 V6 XTra Cab 4WD Truck. I know the caps can be painted, but I thought I recently saw a Limited which had some glossy black center caps.

Does anyone know if Toyota Supplies black center caps that will fit in the 2012 TE Wheel?

Alternatively has anyone found a good method to paint these things. If need be, I will take the time to hand sand each cap, but if there's an easier way to prep the cap (maybe a quick wipe with acetone??), I'd appreciate the advice!

Thanks,

I painted mine with Berliner paint. Still need to clear coat them.

Duplicolor makes black paint!
Methinks -> :confused::shrug:

Did I really just waste my time here?
 
I'm just going to throw this into this thread because I saw it on Two Guys Garage the other day and thought it was cool as shit.

They did the rims on a Jeep and they came out spectacular:

Amazon.com: Dupli-Color CFK100 Carbon Fiber Kit: Automotive

I am chomping at the bit to try to find something to try this on.

What I am getting at, is if you want to paint your center caps think about this. I think they would turn out much cooler than just black.
