Default Powdercoating question

Ok, I finally found a local place to do my powdercoating on my ss wheels. I've decided on the gunmetal grey. They told me they would do them for $50 a wheel, which is pretty cheap in my book. They said they could do any color, including a chrome look. So my question is this. How am I going to get the center caps done to match the wheels. They're plastic, right? Would I have to carry them to a paint shop to have them just paint the caps to match the wheels? That is going to be a hassle, to say the least.

They will have to be painted at a paint shop the powdercoating process includes baking the material coated and would melt the center caps probably. When I got my trailer powder coated the damn plastic handle for the jack melted off.
