TSW Gunmetal Wheels center cap solution
I bought a set of TSW nurburgring wheels in Gunmetal. They are a good set of inexpensive wheels that will clear most BBKs. The only problem is that they have silver center caps which really let the wheels down.
A few people have wrapped it in vinyl and put a log over it, but the TSW letters are recessed and i didn't think it woudl look good. Also the C7 center cap can be removed and glued over the center caps. But alas my C7 supply is limited.
I did have a can of Dip Your car's Performix True Metallic Anthracite Gray so i figured i would give it a try. The color match is amazingly close. So i thought i'd share my solution.
Total time was about 20 minutes. 4 coats, with 30+ minutes between them. It only takes a couple minutes to spray a thin coat then walk away.

Very nice, those are the wheels I plan to get when I finally move to a BBK as well so this is perfect. Which AP Racing kit is that?
