anyone know how to get the center caps looking good again? I popped one off last week because the emblem fell off. They are plastic! How do you get them looking like new as per the pic above?

so I had blacked out the exhaust tips. liked the look, but when I was coming back up the driveway from the mailbox I didn't like the way it look in contrast to the rest of the exhaust. i.e.. it was still the bare metal.


of course you would have to be laying behind the car to see this, but being slightly OCD I had to paint it to match.
