Center caps black too or did you leave them metal finish? The black looks good.

I have not done the center caps yet, the ones they came with I dont like so I am going to try to find ones that will fit and paint them black as well.

Or you could get the smoke colored Metalcast and do the lip, followed by a clearcoat.

Once they are washed up they will look good on your coupe.
