Default Painting Center Caps Advice?

Anybody have tips for painting center caps? Any particular paint that you'd recommend?

After a few winters, my XD center caps are flaking on the sides and elsewhere. Since I wasn't the biggest fan of the chrome to start with, it's time for some black paint.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sand Paper, Paint Thinner and Flat black, its cheap and when you scratch them up from crawling you can just touch them up.
