Poll: Stock SE centercaps

My centercaps are lookin like el'crappo. They are scratched, peeling, and just look bad. I just got a couple cans of Duplicolor Ice Blue Metallic to respray my side trim, and I was looking for opinions on wether I should spray the center caps thesame?

personnaly i do not think so,unless you painted the whole wheel but even then i would say no.. wiht just the center done i think it owudl lok funny.

my onl advvice woudl be the get some of that dupilcolor wheel paint in silver and do the whole wheel... or maybe go to a sticker or sign shop and get a vinyl that matches as close as [possible maybe.

stupid center caps :/ mine look like crap too

if this is that tough of a decision then spray a peice of paper and cover the cap with the paper and see what it looks like

i thought the rims look better with no center caps anyway.

You can buy them on ebay for about $5 each. I don't know why you would bother putting cheap paint on them.

If you had the ability to do a good job with quality paint or powdercoat, maybe paint all four wheels and tires. Cheap paint will chip off quickly and look worse than the peeling stock clear coat.
