So if you are going to get them powder coated I would just ask for the extra paint to deal with the caps.

Problem is that they are plastic so they can't be powder coated. I really hope that painting them will not look too awful. In addition, I am having a tough time finding black lugz that will fit the 19" stock Rays.

right, there is no liquid paint left over after powdercoating, as none is used. Tip, I think if you go to a good body shop, they should be able to get you something real close. My shop did mine and matched the gloss level exact.
