Default ashy to classy! (cleaned up my centercaps) scroll down for pics of cap on wheel

My centercaps on my wheels were getting kinda crappy so I decided to try and clean them up a little .


I got some stickers made,bought a can of clear and got the old dremmel out.

I had to grind the raised letters down so they wouldn't show through the stickers.




sprayed them with some clear. 5 coats.


This is what I ended up with .



The caps are from some black Konig Helium.

What do you guys think?


*edit* added pics of the cap on the wheel. scroll down

i think it looks better, but i'm not too big of a fan of putting H center caps on aftermarket wheels.

they look good off the wheel, but the contrast between the silver and black wheel is too much. (i know i have them too )

I think it turned out good.

I might paint the cap black and leave the silver center. Dunno yet.

maybe would go well with a polished lip
