Your opinion on painting hub caps?

So I plan on painting some old stock 4x4 rims(15x7) semi-gloss black with a gloss clear or metallic clear coat.

Now for the center cap, see below.(recently washed)

Should I also paint these to match or would you leave them?
They looked okay on the other stock black rims(15x6) I have but those were faded and not in the best condition so it matched. I looked a bit closer at the inserts and I think they look fine and I will just tape them off. Side note GM wants $33.42 each for the insert.

Coming from someone who has painted just about everything on her truck... DO ITTT.

Plus you wouldn't want shiny like new rims and faded center caps.

Thanks for the link I will look into it, and see if its sold locally.

I will actually be using a paint gun as the paint is cheaper and should be faster so rattle cans are out. I'm thinking on going for just a gloss clear coat as the metallic is a bit touchy to get right and keep clear so I have read.

So after 6 hours of work I have everything primed.
