Sure...now ya tell me.

A couple weeks ago I could have used these.
When I got my boat Eagle did a "real fine" job" on the center caps.
Black plastic cheapos that have hole sawed openings in them.
Then there were kinda sorta sprayed with "chrome paint" about 3/4 of the way around.
If you parked just right it wasn't too bad, but....

I pulled the cheapo chrome directional wheels and their cracking / peeling clear coat off, soaked the greasy center covers in kerosene long enough to clean them up, dried, scotch brited, and painted with a silver metallic (and I mean HEAVY metallic-lots of flake in this stuff) wheel and rim paint. Greased up the Shur-Lube spindles, all looked good and re-assembled. They look good now. Only issue was my helper. My son just tossed my 4 ways on top of my plastic oil change drip pan and cracked it. Guess when I found that out...???

The nice thing about the plastic cheapy is that they don't rust. The down side is you can't find them in chrome anymore. The metal ones usually last 4-5 years depending on whether you are in salt or not. The ones I have, have been used for 1 year in fresh water. You might try some Plasti-Dip and spray your centers. I think that stuff will help preserve them for awhile. As cheap as mine are, you can always buy them for spares---LOL
