i just bought a set of wheels and the center caps are cheap plastic. i want to give it a new finish, maybe chrome or some sort of bling to match the lip of my new wheels. can i do this by shopping around autozone or kragen using spray cans? any recommendations on what kind of paint? supply store? how the process works? school me here please

If you spray it, it won't match the lip. Depending on what brand of wheels they are you might be able to purchase some different center caps.

I just painted my center caps cuz the "chrome" finish was peeling. I got dsome of that Krylon Fusion Paint. it is the best for plastic. I gave it 6 light coats and now it looks great.

My suggestion is get a 2000 grit sand paper, lightly sand them down, get a tack cloth, clean them off and them paint them with light coats. Wait 30-40 seconds in between each coat.
