Message I want to paint a part of my plastic centercaps to match my wheels. The wheels are a metallic matte dark gray, powdercoat I believe. Any suggestions on how you would go about getting some paint thats a near match? Is there a shop that has a handheld machine for this?

Just trying to see if I'm missing something or if I should just be flipping through the sample book at autozone and grabbing something close in a rattlecan. Likely two stage paint used with no clear will probably be about the right finish I imagine.

Any tips on prep/painting fake plastic chrome?

How to have a good time with your 300zx:
Don't buy from AMS because it's shoddily "designed", cheaply made knockoff garbage.
Don't buy from ASH if you can't wait 6 months for turnaround time, and are ok with him to disapearing for another 6 months when you have a question about your
purchase.
Don't put injectors in that aren't 95+ style Nismo or Injector dynamics
Do your timing belt when you are supposed to with oem stuff.
If a wheel doesn't proudly declare where it's made, you shouldn't be putting it on a 300zx, and if ebay is the best place to get it, that's concerning. Yes, I am talking
about those XXR's.
Don't put on a FMIC that isn't Tom's. That ebay "apollo style" one causes a ton of lag and lost horsepower.

Check my classifieds. My Z is for sale.
