Default Respraying Hubcaps

As I probably won't be buying a set of rims and tires for a while, does anyone have any a good paint product, tips and directions on respraying my o.e.m hubcaps as they're in pretty bad shape ? I have a set of 99 Civic Sedan hubcaps if that means anything. Thanks ;D

painting hubcaps can be a bitch i always use krylon dull silver then some krylon clear coat. get some 200 grit sand paper and lightly sand them and get a good cleaner like a silicon remover to get all the dirt and grease off of them and if you have used tire wet be sure to clean them real good or they could fish eye. that means big blobby places will appear. just take your time and don't get in a hurry and you should be fine. you can find a silicon remover and cleaner at advance or auto zone
