Almost makes me wish I painted the hex cap thing as well.
I do have a concern though, if/when you get them powdercoated, when it comes to baking it to cure the media, isnt that too hot for the center caps? I wanted to powdercoat mine but I was worried about the center caps getting deformed or something. Have you tried this before?

Those are super hot! Can't wait to see them on the car, the match with the Ifini centers is pretty original, I dig it.
They look great as they are man, but the black is hot as well. Are the bolts just painted? If so just let them soak in a bucket of paint thinner, or aircraft stripper. They aren't too hard to repaint as well. Just get a card board box, thread them into it and paint away. Worked for my friends Work Rezaks we are refinishing. Doing the same color scheme as you: gloss black lips, gold bolts, and flat black faces, all powder coat.
Teaser pic, yes that is rainbow flake. Will it look good? We will see

they are still sitting in my garage...waiting on a sandblasting cabinet. im rocking some s5 t2 mesh wheels that are powdercoated black right now.
my car is a few different colors right now so they wouldn't look that great anyway...waiting until the winter to get it painted. i picked them up because i got a deal i couldn't pass up.
