Painted my rims today!! need some extra help!

Ok guys heres the deal i painted my stock 05 tl rims today. I painted them black and now i wanna play around with the decal in the middle the acura "A". This cap that pops off in the middle of the wheel is plastic and i used wheel paint to paint the rims if i want to paint the cap black and the A red can i just sand it down a bit and paint it even though it is plastic? Help please

For the centercap i just sanded it down, primed and painted. I filled the centercap with play-doh to fill out the A but you can use clay.

IMO you should clear coat them, they are looking a bit flat!

Looks pretty good...as I've gotten older I've kinda lost the desire for stock wheels painted, but the starts actually look damned good.
