    Wheel color ideas?

    The bottlecaps on my vert are worn through to the primer and I'd like to paint them.

    Any advice on color? It can be a little "creative" as she is going on jackstands in about 2 months for a winter refresh and will be getting new shoes before she emerges in the spring.

    btw, the bumper strips have been painted with trim paint

                Dude, a coca cola cap would be sick! I'm not even kidding! And it's just spray paint, if you don't like it, redo it later.

                  ok..guess i'll try it. Maybe make a template out of cardboard, spray and then do the outline in black sharpie?

                  Any ideas?

                    Body color centers, or silver. I can't stand black-center wheels on cars that aren't black :(

                      Satin black with polished lip. IMO

                          have one side done like that now..getting good reviews. I like the Coke cap idea, too.

                            Post pics of results, esp if you do the coke caps.
