: How to paint center cap on stock SE-R wheels? GameDay 08-23-2002, 02:27 PM I've got a classic (recent buy) that needs some touching up. All the wheels are in great shape, but the center caps are almost white as most of the paint on them has washed off/faded. Where can I get the paint, what type, and what specific color/paint code? Thanks for any and all help! :) GameDay sr20deMike 08-23-2002, 02:56 PM I used Rustoleum (sp?). I forgot the specific color but there is one that matches very well. You can get the paint at any hardware store, like Home Depot or Lowes. Serban 08-23-2002, 04:47 PM Um...take the center caps off, go to walmart, get some 99 cent silver paint, and paint them. I would not worry about getting fancy paint. If they start to get all faded again, paint them again.

For those of you with stock wheels and sh*tty yellowed wheel covers, do this!!! I thought it would turn out all ghetto looking, but it took about 1/2 hour total and the match is damn good. I used a little bit of acetone and fine steel wool to strip off what little paint was left, washed, dried, and sprayed 2 light coats. Rustoleum Aluminum (7715). Make sure to get that one, there are other Rustoleum "metal" colors, but they are too bright. yeedle 03-04-2007, 11:03 PM Old thread back from the dead...
