Removing the center cap on my stock rims (3.2)
The center caps on my wheels have a lot of paint missing and it looks like they are plastic. I bought some paint but I'm not sure how to remove them. Can I pop them off with a screwdriver?
Thanks

Hey sorry I'm always way slow to respond. I'm at school right now, another class is about to start but I'll definitely check that paint can when I get home tonight. I got it at Canadian Tire, but I'm sure that you can get it in the States as well. I was thinking about painting the Acura part burgundy to match the body colour, but I was thinking that it would probably wear off really quickly.

The spray paint is called "Dupli-Color High Performance Wheel Coating" and the colour code is "CHWP10100 High Perf. Silver". With the wheel caps, we pried out the Acura letters with a flat head screwdriver and sanded the caps to a smooth surface, then used about four coats of paint, without applying any primer, spraying slowly to get a nice finish.

Nice DIY! Perfect! Of course, if you get some 2nd or 3rd gen TL wheels, will look better...just a suggestion. I sold my old 3.2 rims for $150.00, no tires, not bad.
