Paiting the Center Peice ?
Hey whats going on guys i just got some 19's from my 99gs300, and they look great, it's all blacked out. The center peice is silver, and it doesn't look good with rim. So how do i paint the rim caps black...?
The rims are from an Infiniti G35x, so thats another reason i wanna paint the rim caps black.

If i got that right why dont you just take the wheel off, pop off the center cap and rattle can it. I paint rims myself and i use spray paint. with a good thick clear coat and the right painting techniques it comes out nice. u could send em to me and i'll paint em for you. doesnt take that long. Powdercoating is OD if ur jus doing the center cap

well, it came from the dealer black..my uncle had ordered the rims for his g35, but didn't want them. And for some strange reason the center caps are still silver..so i just wanted to paint the centercaps..atleast a black to make it blend together. it's just basic paint and clear coat ?

^^^^^ BRIAN!!! LOL. u guys and your spell checks. BTW the 19's arent standard. most g35 coupes i see round here have the 18's. But to the OP they def dont come black. so they had them painted and if the dealer got them dipped for your uncle then they weren't cheap. and yes all you gotta do is spray them with black then clear. i recommend getting the engine enamel glossy black and then some rim clear coat or better yet what i found recently was the Minwax wood and metal lacquer spray paint. use light thin coats in layers and a heat gun or blow dryer between layers to get a good finish

yea they def don't come in black. only silver. Oh yeah I use Safari so I get the whole spell check as you go thing to. It's gets a little annoying with all the red lines when your typing fast. But back on topic spraying center caps is super easy unless you trynna get rid of the Infiniti symbol

im looking for that post where the guy found a company that made them....it would be more expensive than painting it yourself but it is another option.
update if/when i find it
EDIT:well that didnt take long
