Original condition

just got my 80 series and have been doing some easy stuff before baseline. One was to get the center caps restored. I got some SEM primer, duplicolor Toyota metallic silver paint, and SEM clear coat in satin (I think I should have gotten gloss) sanded everything down really well, washed and dried the caps, then put a couple coats of primer, paint and clear. Then painted the gold in, lucked out and the paint shop had a small can of metallic gold. Need to let the gold totally cure then put a bunch of clear over them.
