        my friend has a spare set of bottlecaps that he painted white. It came out really nice and looks like some OZ rally wheels now. haha

              all my friend used was some steel wool and then sprayed it. I'm not sure how good the paint will hold up since I didn't see him paint the wheels. I only helped him sand it down with the steel wool.

                I've also seen on the forums a set of bottlecaps with the face painted black and the "lip" left unpainted. That doesnt look bad either imo

                    this is the truth but they will be my "white 60 dollar plus countless hours of sanding my fingers off" bottle caps ...
