                  Thankyou!
                  No more than 2 days ago I was considering doing the exact same to my bottle caps, and now im inspired!

                  How would you go about painting them, just a rattle can or proffessionally?

                  i photoshopped it on my car (dark grey/green duco) an i recon it looks sweet.
                  Anything to spruce up what i got untill i move on to bigger and better things.

                    if you want it to last.

                    degreaser and scrub HARD with scotch brite. it'll scuff up the clear so the paint has something to stick to. then wash the degreaser off.

                    mask it all off and then use rusto. this paint is tough as nails when dry and sticks pretty well to most anything. they have flat/satin/gloss black (if you use the gloss black you can even spray 1 to 2 coats of automotive clear on to make it last even longer). choose what you want and spray 2 to 3 coats on. anything more will probably start flaking off the wheels.

                    let it dry completely before putting them back on.

                    set aside around a day and a half to do all of this.

                    if you wanna do it right...

                    if not. just spray and go :)
