Wheels are in great shape but the caps have seen better days. What paint have you guys used to match the factory color of the basketweaves? Should a guy prime and/ or clear coat them also? Just the caps I'm talking about here.

würth is your best bet if you're just doing straight silver and you want nice paint. -
Wurth...........?
Is that a brand I can buy here in middle America or do I need to order it from a German automotive supply company? I'd much rather run to Sprawl-Mart and drop a couple bucks on some Krylon or Dupli-Color. I reiterate "off the shelf".
Thanks for the insight though, Nando.sigpicComment

well if you want mismatched paint that flakes off a month later, go ahead. :)
and yes würth is a brand, but you should be able to find it easy enough. a couple clicks and some dude in a brown suit will even bring some to your door. ;)Comment

Either I'm not being clear or your lacking in reading comprehension skills. It certainly doesn't make much sense to pay shipping charges on a $4 can of paint. Hence the request for an "off the shelf" brand.

Besides, what makes Wurth better than a domestic paint company? Zie Germans!?sigpicComment

Please pardon my ignorance :oops: ......... I did a little research and have seen the light. Again, thank you (both) for the insight.
But it's just paint, right?! :?sigpicComment

If you have money to play with, why not go buy a few cans of different shades of silver and test it? Seems like the intelligent thing to do, if you're not going to go with quality paint anyway.

Why not buy a bunch of dupli color and paint the rims and the centers. That way shit will match later.

No, no.... I guess I didn't make myself clear in my last post (hypocritical of me, isn't it)! I think I am going to go with the Wurth and I thank those for pointing me in the right direction.
I digress.sigpicComment
