A little body filler putty to fill in any imperfections left after sanding and then a few coats of automotive primer.

When I sent my wheels to Transwheel for powdercoating, they refinished my center caps in matching acrylic lacquer with an acrylic enamal clearcoat. So now I had beautiful silver wheels and matching BLANK center caps.

I had created an .eps version of the SVX logo on my computer and scaled it to the size I wanted. I then took it to a sign shop, who computer-cut them out of silver (high-performance) automotive vinyl. The high performance stuff is thinner and holds up much longer than the regular stuff)

I made a template of the center cap so that each decal was applied exactly on center. They have been on for almost 5 years and are still perfect in every way. I still have a few spares in case they get damaged and I have to replace them.

They are very subtle and the color and metallic is a very close match to the wheel itself. Under different lighting conditions they appear and disappear.

That would be awesome with the SVX "Horns" from the JDM Badge.

Anyone have an .eps of the SVX "Horns"?
