sand/scuff, paint made for plastic since thats what they are 2 to 3 light coats or as desired and 2 to 3 light coats of clear to make then last and shiney. im pretty sure thats how it goes. but just look up how to do the interior trim and its pretty much the same steps since they are both plastic. good luck

Painting hubs black would look cheaper than just taking them off.
