new centercaps - need help
Reply #1 –
What are they made of?If they're plastic,here's what I would do.....Using thick tape,I'd mask of the entire cap except the round center part,then,I'd get my Dremmel and smooth out the circle in the middle that is housing the "A".After getting it flat in the middle,I'd fine sand it and smooth it with some fine wet or dry sandpaper (sanding wet and taking care not to damage the surrounding chrome that is masked of.After the smoothing of the center is done,I'd have a vinyl graphics place make some cool inserts (round of course) or,order some nice center cap inserts from Ebay or wherever to stick in the middle.I have seen Cobras,the Cobra "R",and more.One could get the Thunderbird "Bird" and an R combined,or The Bird and the words "Turbo Coupe" under it.The ideas are limitless.I know the sanding and smoothing may take a little while,but,that's what i would do.
If the sanding and smoothing flat the center doesn't work for you,one could always just use some filler of your choosing to fill the "A",smooth it,and then apply a new center emblem over that.
