Default center caps on OEM wheels

Hi..
my powdercoat shop told me the center caps on the 2IS wheels is plastic and obviously cannot be powdercoated. So for now it's painted a similar shade.

I found a place selling chrome cap replacements so it's metal and would supply me with the little lexus emblems so I can tape it on myself after finishing/painting, and in this case powdercoat. I need to strip the chrome first though.

What I want is the chrome Lexus emblem on the powdercoated cap

What do you think of this plan? Anyone want to see my powdercoated stockers

Oops, I wonder how that guy with the black pearl wheel got the cap colored like that, maybe it was paint.
