andygo Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Has anyone got a source of coloured wheel centre caps. There doesn'tseem to be a reasonably priced source on Ebay at the moment. One of mine has started to discolour, despite me lacquering them from new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonshine Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 What colour are you looking for? (I've got a set of unused replica black coloured ones in a box at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonshine Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 I assumed he was looking for coloured crests. My enquiry was in relation to what colour of centre cap he was looking for, as his requirements will depend on his wheel colour. I have spare black caps with coloured crests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I wasn't too impressed with sellers 50% reputation plus they are gloss black. Edited April 23 by andygo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddie Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 (edited) @andygo the gloss black is quite easily solved by buying 1 of those magic sponge things for taking marks off wallpaper etc. Then rub the sponge over the black shiny plastic, soon becomes semi Matt, you just need to be careful to do each centre, a similar amount so that they look similar. This is what I do on my Macan with satin black wheels. Obviously stay off the coloured crest. There is also normally a clear plastic stuck over the wheel centre, which needs to be peeled off. These wheel centres can normally be found for sale on Etsy for £20- £30 a set of 4 Edited April 23 by Toddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygo Posted April 23 Author Report Share Posted April 23 (edited) I normally aerosol spray clear satin lacquer over the whole face to try and stop the crests corroding. Works really well and obviously turns the gloss into satin finish. Edited April 23 by andygo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you purchased anything from them in the past? As it happens I have a set on the way from Moonshine (who posted on the thread earlier). The Onbuy ones are certainly worth bearing in mind though, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
