Almost makes me wish I painted the hex cap thing as well.

I do have a concern though, if/when you get them powdercoated, when it comes to baking it to cure the media, isnt that too hot for the center caps? I wanted to powdercoat mine but I was worried about the center caps getting deformed or something. Have you tried this before?

the centercap is actually 3 pieces...the round black part, the hex nut part and the round outside part. i would only bake/pc the outside metal piece.

Those are super hot! Can't wait to see them on the car, the match with the Ifini centers is pretty original, I dig it.

They look great as they are man, but the black is hot as well. Are the bolts just painted? If so just let them soak in a bucket of paint thinner, or aircraft stripper. They aren't too hard to repaint as well. Just get a card board box, thread them into it and paint away. Worked for my friends Work Rezaks we are refinishing. Doing the same color scheme as you: gloss black lips, gold bolts, and flat black faces, all powder coat.

Teaser pic, yes that is rainbow flake. Will it look good? We will see :

they are gold plated so i don't think i can just paint over them. if i don't like the look once they are done ill get different bolts.

they are still sitting in my garage...waiting on a sandblasting cabinet. im rocking some s5 t2 mesh wheels that are powdercoated black right now.

my car is a few different colors right now so they wouldn't look that great anyway...waiting until the winter to get it painted. i picked them up because i got a deal i couldn't pass up.
