Bought a can each of duplicolor grey filler primer, graphite wheel coating, and gloss clear to try out on one of the centers and see if I liked it. First I scuffed the centers up with 400 grit sandpaper and then cleaned and degreased with simple green.

After letting it dry for a bit, I had to put the center together with the barrel for a quick mock-up. I think it turned out great! Now to go buy a few more cans of everything for the other three wheels.
