Default Wheel Caps



Hey Ive sent my 18" ISP rims in for sand blasting and powdercoating. The problem is they are getting powder coated gunmetal grey and my wheel caps are light silver.

Does anyone know where to get different color lexus caps? or where I can get generic gunmetal grey cap?

Thanks

Steve

I believe in all Lexus caps the "L" is actually plastic welded to the cap itself.

But I have a set of IS300 caps and they have two clips that you could still 'chip off' the 'weld' to remove the "L", leaving you with the cap itself. Paint that, reattach the "L" and you have yourself a set of gunmetal caps

The " L " is on there good I just taped off each section at a time and painted the background glossy black in parts to keep the L silver. Couldnt get it off and to buy new ones cost to much for what your getting.
