93LSOwner Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 All of my alloy wheel center caps are losing the paint. One of them is just yellow and all of the paint is gone. Now, there are wheel caps in perfect condition going for $20 a pop shipped on ebay that is $80 total. So, is there something "I" can do (DIY). Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93LSOwner Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Should have placed this in the LS400 section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93LSOwner Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 Kind of late, but I sanded them down with sand paper and used a little bit of paint thinner to get the old paint out. Bought paint spray from Advanced Auto and after drying sprayed a clear coat. Now, they match perfectly with the wheels, IMO even better match than what they were originally. The “L” on the caps comes off very easily. After 3 weeks of heavy driving with rain, etc. they are still looking excellent. Plus, a nice activity I did with my little brother.

Here goes again: Do you know the paint brand and part number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
