how about just painting them? Seems like it'd be a hell of a lot easier and cheaper.

Yeah you can have them painted and put a coat of clearcoat on it. Hell if you are confident and handy you can do it yourself with spray paint.

I'm sure the same paint used for clibers would work just as well for the center cap. Powder coating wouldn't be cheap...

I'd imagine you'd get hit for $10~$20 a cap. While paint would probably run you $10 total plus some elbow grease.
