Default Painting OEM Centercaps one color anyone?

I am thinking of getting a second set of OEM centercaps and painting them one color to match the OEM rims. I have seen them painted on another R and it actually looks pretty good. Just wondering if anyone else has done it. Does anyone have a pic?

I used my imagination but my photoshop skills are lacking.

How much did you pay to powder coat your wheels black?

don't mean to jack the thread but i want to see a PY with OEM stocks powder coat black....i found a cheap set and thinking about painting them black. I did a search and could only find a Black ITR with them.

To me, USDM ITR wheels don't look that good in black for some reason. They're better in CW or GM. The UKDM(and the likes) look good in black, but good luck trying to get those. But for track purposes, painting any wheel black is a good idea.

On a side(current trend/fashion) note, black seems to be out and flaming ghey colors in

Where did you get an "A" decal? $350 through a dealership or something?
