It was like Krylon one-step for plastic. = no need to prime, just spray directly on the plastic. Then clearcoat. Theres no such thing as plastic primer at anywhere near me, So when I had some color matched spray paint for a different project I ended up buying the one step plastic spraypaint in white and using it as primer. Its pretty awesome for 3$.

Guessing that you are talking about the center caps? Or did you use the plastic paint on the wheels?

Powdercoated the wheels. Plastic paint the caps to match. The OP had silver caps on dark pc'd rims. That was the point.

Don't recall the code. He said it was "Chevy gray". Pretty close match to full sized trucks from the past 5-10 years. Pewter is what I would call it.

PBlue- Looks good! I do like the dark cap...
