    Thumbs up Old School Center Caps Painted

    i have some old school honda rims that i got a few months ago. they are the ones that u could get for the 2nd gen accords and late 80s civics. neway, they have that realy small center cap that covers the dust cover thing in the middle. they had chrome H and the background was black. i painted the black part red. i just had to use some masking tape and cover all the chrome parts. they are still drying due to 90+ humidity. i dont know when they will dry but i got some pix of em.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

    Good job, I spraypainted the rims on a 2g Accord Silver and painted the H blue. I also painted the whole car blue with spraypaint with two silver stripes. That car had over 150k on it. It has been passed around to about a dozen owners that I can count. As far as I know it still runs five years later.

    i thought those little caps turned out pretty nice. too bad i dont have anything to put them on. i can put them on the 8 spoke 13s pictured in my last post. but if you didnt know, i bent one of those rims pretty bad, thats why i have prelude rims now. anyway, they turned out good cuz i taped off the chrome H and chrome ring.
