Wow those lugs really stand out...

Maybe just paint the center caps bronze and then try to stencil a black A over them?

I spray painted my entire caps and then painted the black (A) with a very fine paintbrush. They look good Nate! I would take better pics though, most of them are to shadowy to see the paint.

uh... i got mixed views about this. the bronze seems too flat for my liking. maybe if you painted the edges black like ethenol had painted them, it'll make the bronze look better imo...

but thats just me.

Maybe try smoking your amber corners so they look darker and match the bronze a little better.
