HELP Asap

Got my A Spec wheels powdercoated gloss black. Now i am in need of black Aspec centercaps with the acura emblem still chrome... Is this something I am gonna have to do at home? Most body shops wont do this small job so I wonder are these sold online? Similair to the ones on that rsx with hyperblack aspecs centercaps. I need to know if this should just be done by me or if i can order them

Let me know what you find. I have been on the lookout for Acura centercaps to fit my aftermarket wheels which are 70 mm face and 64 mm back. I know the OEM Acura ones are too small to fit my wheels.

How much did the powder coating run? Did you have rash that needed TLC?

I was at the dealer and looked through a bunch of cars on the lot. Good luck on finding a black center cap. Did not see any. Closest you can get is the ebony look wheels, which are not very black in color, still basically a chrome A symbol on a silver background. Looks like the custom road for you. Get that airbrush ready.

The body shop would have to mix up the paint and all and it wouldn't be worth their time, understandable.
