Thanks for the replys! @GUVS - there was no problem powder coating them and then sticking them in an oven? No warping or anything?

I think that I can answer your question. Based on the method involved with powder coating, unless the crest are actually removable, I don't think it's an effective way to do the center caps. I would recommend using a traditional paint process, wherein the crests are taped off and sprayed accordingly. I did this with a set of center caps a few years back to go along with a set of wheels that were powder coated black . In the end, there was no discernible difference between the two paint processes, and they came out perfect .
