    I have a black Prius with Toyota Center Caps and was thinking of getting some touch-up/scratch repair black paint and filling in the background of the center cap and leaving the Toyota emblem chrome. Has anyone done this? Do you think the touch-up paint would hold up and look good on the plastic center caps? Any thoughts? Thanks.

    I painted the background of my center caps/brake calipers to match the blue "Hybrid" logo. Looks nice, but don't have pics yet. So far the paints lasted and has not peeled off.

    What type of paint did you use. The touch up pin/brush I mentioned or spray paint?

    I may trim some electrical tape to fit the spaces to get an idea of what it looks like. I don't want to buy and ship more covers. If I do, I'll post picks to get some other opinions. Thanks.
