Has anyone successfully painted the middle plastic piece of the wheel?

Mine is peeling badly and it looks like crap...

Any trouble matching the color? Is a special Subaru paint needed?

Thanks.

Spray the cap with Krylon Fusion plastic paint, then paint your color over that. Fusion paint is made to bond to plastic much better than normal paint. You can also use the duplicolor plastic primer, but it seems to be hard to find (around here anyway)

Once it is primed, the Duplicolor silver wheel paint is pretty much a dead on match for the Subaru silver. I touched up a stock wheel using it and you couldn't tell where I had painted.

Agreed - Duplicolor brand silver wheel paint is a near perfect match and it's available everywhere.

^what they said. I have some of this in the garage. Good paint and dang near perfect match.

If you want a perfect match, prep and spray the whole wheel. Its really easy to do.
