    operation bottlecap restoration

    so i picked up some bottlecaps and they were in decent shape but needed some cleaning so i started working on them one by one ...the caps were faded bad and i couldnt located any decent ones so i decided to touch them up with paint and clear coat them..i might add the BMW in silver by hand or maybe put "E30" on them instead is this pretty ghetto or do u think it looks ok?

      props to you, bottlecaps are a pain in the ass to prep.

        They are, but I've come up with a process that gets it done for me the quickest, least painful way possible.

        I'd rather clean bottlecaps than weaves any day though.

        Oh, OP the wheels look a lot better. I painted mine a week ago and the prep was the most difficult part for me.
