Default Center caps

Hey guys, I have ap2 v1s on my 01 and I recentley got the powdercoated gloss black. Actually awhile ago and still r in mint condition. The more and more I look at it I don't like the silver center cap. I was wondering if people have painted the center section of the hub black and justran without a center cap? Or just left it bare and ran it without them. Pics would be great if u have a similar setup. Thanks guys.

I've seen guys paint the center cap the same colour as the wheels, thus no H symbol. Lots of guys running some of the enkei rims don't run center caps as they don't come with them, it looks okay, if it was my car I'd just paint the caps if you don't like the silver look.

If you wish to paint the center caps and retain the H logo, you can get vinyl version off of ebay or esty. That's what I did with my Volks (w/ flat center cap).

I don't like the h anyways. I have two sets of center caps. Ones from my ap1 wheels as well. I really don't have anything to lose. Anyone recommend a good spray paint?

U can powder the caps, but u just have to lower the oven temps when baking.

My Work wheels didn't come with centercaps, and they are gloss black. I didn't like the way they looked at all, so I considered painting the hubs black too. However, I discovered the the OEM Honda center caps would fit, so I just spray painted them with gloss black spray paint. They turned out great, and have held up for quite some time. I don't remember which paint I used, but I would use Duplicolor if I had to do it again.
