ok if i were to paint a chrome piece of plastic black, w/ no prep work, could i easily get the paint back off?? If I used spray paint(just for the idea)...I just dont want to paint it and then not like it...I gotta see it black to be sure thats what I want..but if I dont like it I dont wanna be stuck w/ it. Thx in advance...

i don't know about painting the center caps black. when i saw them in person over at berry's, they looked pretty bitchin' with the polished cap. try it and see. might look better all black.

"Mask" it with black electrical tape. Then if you don't like how it looks, peel it off.
