    Default repainting throwing stars

    i decided to get my spare tstar cover glass bead blasted and if it turns out good im going to repaint my entire set.

    do i blast the plastic center cap too?

    how should i repaint them the car is alpine with the black door and lower trim.

    keep them silver?
    keep the lip on the wheel silver and paint the cap and tstar black?
    paint the tstar black and keep the centercap and wheel silver?

    i was leaning towards black caps and covers.

    thats what i figured, it seemed like a bad idea. i thought i would have to use steel wool or something before i primer it. what would happen if it gets bead blasted, do you think it would crack?

    it would just eat the plastic, and blast it away, not just the paint
