Great, thanks Piper fro detailed heads up. I'll report back when I get to open these after the driving for this season is done or some issues come up to force the car to be placed for sleep for the winter...

Painted my center caps, using the DIY on this forum. Looks great ! Took about two hours total, but had to take breaks...These things have lots of small details ! Did gold, red, then black touch-ups with a toothpick. Finished with 4 coats of glossy clear, applied 20 minutes apart.
