Default Painted TT2's

Well ive decided to paint the centers of my TT2's. Im going to just use the wheel paint you buy at the autoparts store to see if I like it 1st. I was planning on sanding the spokes down, primering, painting then clearcoat. Is there any advice you would give me before I start? Oh yea I cant get some of the screws out of the center caps, what do I do?
