I would like to get a Black gloss look for my GS non F-sport.Got a quote for $380 to do all 4 of my wheels which is not bad, but I'm concerned that I will not find center caps for the new black polished wheels. I know Lexus has some OEM center caps just afraid they wont fit my stock GS wheels. Has anyone have any experience with powder coating there wheels? I'm on the fence about pulling the trigger.

YoI have my stock wheels gloss black, do autoflex coatings. Its a sprayable removable coating, like plastidip but looks like a gloss paint finish and is removable. Some pics back when I did it last year.

You can wetsand and buff autoflex and its scratch resistant.

Where do I buy the stuff to DIY?
Besides cleaning the wheels do I have to do anything else before painting?
Does it really last?

They also have a grey color. All you have to do is clean the wheels ahead of time and follow the instructions for how many layers etc. The stuff will last just as well as paint and the gloss coat actually can exceed OEM paint levels. Many people use the product on cars, if you have a proper sprayer you can do any color and mix in pearls etc. I was probably going to do my car soon. Heres a guide to get your started.
