I think I'll go the paint route and pick up CR wheels caps and lug nuts, should look really good on NFR.

Yeah, $29 for each and then it looks like $5 for each lug nut.

I wonder if I could take the center cap into a powdercoater and see if they can match it?

That's what I would do. Or even take the cap to a painter, they might be able to get a very good match.

Make sure you get some NSX wheel locks(black).

I don't think they can powder coat plastic. The heat would melt it.

No, just using the color to try and match for the wheels.

Yes, it would obviously melt... But I think he was referring to seeing if they can do a match off of the cap.

Most powder coating shops will have a lot of sample pieces to show you all the colors they can do. Can match up the colors and see how close it would be. They could always order something for you as well I would think but would most likely charge more for that.

You can look online at places like columbiacoating or powderbythepound to browse through available colors. Hard to always tell from a little sample color picture though.
