refinishing colored center caps
I plan a painting my rims this weekend (ala Djlomas) and while planning my attack I noticed my center caps were in pretty bad shape and I was wondering if they can be refinished. They look pretty faded, like the sun has clouded the laquer finish. Attached are a few pics of the caps. And yes, I know I need to clean the brake dust, hence the wheels being painted black.

black wheels? booo :D
hehehe flat black or glossy? |
Blue Magic?
You might try a little Blue Magic metal polish on them after you get a payloader in there to remove the brake dust. One of the most annoying things on my '02 Boxcar is the brake dust! It seems you cannot do a few hard stops without the silver wheels taking on a tan cast from the dust build up. BTW the Blue Magic really makes the hood crest shine.

glossy black. Do you think I need to put clearcoat on over the enamel, or the is the paint enough by itself?
