Where can the caps be purchased? I heard Tesla is sold out.

all the ones I see are either carbon fiber, black or red.
mine is a very pretty sparkly light rose pink for a more girly look, it's very subtle so don't stand out that much, since the car itself draws too much attention already

I want it to be very subtle (sparkly light rose pink) and easy for me to identify my car when there's plenty of white X's in OC area

Actually I tried it with the first cap that I messed up but didn’t work so I went ahead and finished off the rest of caps.
I’ll enjoy these caps for couple of weeks then getting my wheels powder coated to semigloss black.
Do you know where to buy Tesla center caps?

The sticker solution is probably the best way to get an even, professional looking color, without impacting the original.
If not a concern, I'd go with a very careful painting using a quality outdoor paint/enamel.

Ebay or the service center.

Thank you, I didn’t know what type of paint to use, I’m not sure if they have good outdoor paint color selection.
Do you know if I can use paint for model airplanes? Like the ones they sell at hobby shack?

I'm not a paint expert, but anything you brush on, will most likely end up with a rough/uneven surface.
I'm not sure its practical, but a sprayed paint will give a much smoother experience. (when done correctly).

Maybe someone with more paint skills will chip in.

I would think whatever shop does your wheels, will be able to make the center cap any color you want.

These, for example, have blacked out centers.

You may have found the tip of a new market. Sticker makers take notice: add some bling options. (This is a serious post).

Decals are available in Red on Amazon. Peel and place. They hold up well with washing and match the Red Calipers.. Recommend removing the center caps (plastic tool) to clean an place the two-part decals exactly.
