They did buy the first 2 sets of caps, so I'll give them credit for that. I prefer Discount these days....

Well I figured I would try to save some money and ended up rattle canning them. Used a high adhesion primer after wiping down the wheels with alcohol. Then used the Rustoleum Hammered in black. They turned out real sharp. I let the tire shop know that I expected them to scuff when the new rubber got installed. They greased them up and the only real damage was from the center cap installation. Just a couple of 1/8" or so chips on each rim. The hammered is easy to touch up and never notice so it was an easy fix. Really happy with how they look. We will see how the paint holds up, but only out $20 and some time vs $300 and run around time. I will get some pics up in a few days.

thinkingman:
Nice.
Can't wait to see pictures.
Did you clear coat them?

Cylvertip:
No, no clear coat. Just the Hammered. I have used it on various other projects and it has held up really well. Easy to touch up.
The factory clear coat on the fender flares I had added to my Super Duty was bubbling off a few years ago. I sanded the bubbles off and sprayed them with Hammered. That was in 2015. They still look like they are newly done. The poor thing sits outside all year too (unfortunatly). I under coated the Ford with it in 2012. Except for the leaf springs, it is all still covered. All I did for prep was hose it all down good.
