**car help**
I just wanted to know what's the best way to paint my hub cubs for my civic
I just want a good look for the winter, since I won't be using my rims
Should I just sand it down, prime them and than paint them
Or should I just spray them with a black paint I have and than clear coat
I just want it to look the best
Thanks
*heres a pic of my car** so you can look at the hub cabs

Honestly, I'd just pop them off if I was in your situation.
You're probably going to want to sand them down before you paint. I also recommend not using a clear coat, just painting them flat black if you're going to paint them at all.

I would probably just clean them off real good, then pain them. I would use a semi-gloss or flat black with no clear coat. Sanding them would be better but more work if they are just for a winter beater wheel. I just removed mine completely.
