97 Integra, white with black mirrors (plastic mirror "cover", factory black paint mirror "arm"). Silver plastic hub caps on steel wheels.
So the mirror "arms" and the hub caps paints are both peeling, and I'm thinking that if I'm going to do some rattle can paint, might as well paint them white to match the car (Duplicolor has an OEM matching color paint you can order, like $20), it looks like if I spray paint stripper then scrub, lightly sand, and 4 layers of rattle can primer and 4 layers of rattle can top coat, it should be "good enough" to match the rest of the car. Sure it won't be factory shine but at this age matching flat white would be good enough.
So the question I have is, if I'm going to paint the hub cap using the same color, it will save money (assuming I can either finish all 4 hub caps and 2 mirrors with 1 can of white), however the only white wheel I have seen is the Type R and on a base model it may look weird. If 4 hub caps would need 1 can of paint anyways, there would be no saving using the same color.
So, how much paint would I need to do 4 hub caps? Will white hub caps look ghetto?
