for it to be a good cap, youll need to order one of the painted ones and get touch up paint and redo the color, otherwise you will have the texture.

Take them to a paint and body shop and pay them to do it right. GM did not paint your car with a rattlecan so why would you?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Unless you guys know how to paint, please do not do it. The results will not be nearly as good as taking it to a professional. It is not as easy as you think it is. Trust me.
