I ordered a set of saleen chrome 20's(the seven spoke s197 style) Had them powdercoated black. I think its called super wet black. They came out awesome but before I put them on my car, I need to do something about the center caps. Because they are plastic, they could not be powder coated and are still silver. My car color is vapor, so it wouldnt look bad, but would prefer them to be black. Im currently having trouble finding replacement ones. I think I may have to get some hi gloss touch up paint and do them up, maybe they will turn out nice? Any Ideas?

I know u can coat them,not powdercoat . i have seen companies that coat plastic in many different colors. seen many examples at motorcycle shows.maybe try looking on motorcycle sites.

Yeah the guy who did them only does powder coating and does a awesome job, If I ever get a scer Ill take it to him so he can powdercoat that too. I know you can coat plastic so maybe ill just try my luck and give them a couple coats and see what happens, If they come out ****ty I can always just order the saleen centercaps, But they will be silver and black oh well

If they are plastic, I would recommend the new spray paints that
attach themselves to plastic like no ones busisness.
Krylon make a spraypaint (rattlecan) specifically for plastic.
If they are chrome plated plastic, all bets are off.

That stuff works pretty.

What are the stock caps made of? Painting a set of those may also be a better option.
