The one crest is missing red in a couple of spots. A little hobby paint and a steady hand does wonders to touch those up before clear coat. 1000 grit is too harsh, as well. Automotive supply stores carry #2000 or #2500 grit. I also would have only CC the crest, not the whole center cap.

That said (and nobody asked), they still look better than before.

If they were for my summer rims I prob would have painted the missing red and just CC the crests, but they are for my winter rims/tires so I didn't feel like doing all the prep.

I didn't feel the 1000 was too harsh, it actually took a lot of elbow grease to get the white discolored spots out of the factory finish.
