Anybody ever do this? I was thinking of hitting mine with the yellow rattle can to go with the tow hooks until I can get lifted and get the AEV Bridgers. Comments? Suggestions?

I've seen it done before, and I'd imagine its done the same way as painting the wheels. Clean thoroughly, Scuff up the surface, Prime, Multiple light coats of desired paint.

but remember is doesnt take as much sanding to get the caps ready to paint. They are plastic so maybe a paint that is designed for plastic would adhere better.

I have used Krylon Fusion For Plastic with very good results. It states on the can "No Sanding Or Priming". I did both anyways! :lol:
