How to make custom centercaps for your wheelsAwhile back I contacted @Bassboy3313 @ Rage Drift Designs about making some custom center caps for my wheels. He said he could totally help me out with it. I kinda knew what I wanted but he made it a reality. He mocked the design up, put it in vinyl form and sent it out.
I bought these blank wheel caps from ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/4x68mm-Universal-Chrom-Wheel-Tire-Center-Blank-Replacement-Hub-Caps-Cover-Silver/182962557719?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
They were the cheapest ones from the USofA so I pulled the trigger
I gave them a light sanding and a few coats of trim paint. (For a bit of texture to blend a little better with my powder-coated wheels) because obviously I wasn't going to keep them chrome.
Yesterday I got the vinyl in the mail. I was excited to put them on but I had to much caffeine to be able to do it right and waited till this-morning. (You will need VERY steady hands)
I tried my best to center them and started pushing from the middle out to stick the vinyl down. I used a dull and a kinda sharpened stick to push down the edges into the corner. (Because I didn't put the vinyl down exactly perfect each time.)
With all 4 put on I wanted to seal them in. I first bought an epoxy to pour over-top. But after I bought the stuff I was going to use, I realized that the center of the cap is level with the edges. So It wasn't going to work. At that point I looked up "Thick Clear-coat" on the interwebs and thats where I found
Rust-Oleum Triple Thick Glaze for crafts. I went to the store bought it. I also purchased a regular gloss clear-coat to go over top of the glaze because it wasn't UV resistant.


A tip when spraying the glaze. Its not like clear so it needs to go in THICK. I sprayed it like a regular clear first then I layed it on thick. I built it up until there was an even amount over the top of both layers of vinyl. I let it dry for 40 minutes then I did a couple coats of the regular clear to make it UV resistant.
Here is after the first coat or 2
and here is after the last glaze coat waiting for the final clear coats.
As you could see I couldn't wait to see it on my car so I put them on after the last coat dried for about an hour. *excuse my very dirty brakedust filled wheels*
If I could do this again I would spray them inside. Stupid bugs... and probably do a black instead of white background (To in your face)
Overall I think they turned out GREAT. Definitely big thanks to @Bassboy3313

Steelblue E36 Build ThreadSo fellas I bought my first car. It's a 1999 323is.
I bought it from the ORGINAL OWNER!
Came with window sticker and a bunch of service manuals.
Whole suspension was replaced. Needs nothing but a seat belt buckle because an airbag light is on. Has 180k
I plan on replacing headlights, clear corners and such. Possibly m3 front bumper and definitely wheels.

Rekpoints 05 E46 M3 Build ThreadWe stopped at Chick-Fila in Madison for a bite to eat on our way home. I was talking to @pynaclabout the Bluetooth module I plan on ordering. When I popped open the CD changer cover and found a surprise. Wow, Someone left their spice in the car. After getting the car back to Eau Claire @KaiserRollsusing his Boarder Collie nose informed me that there were indeed more drugs stashed throughout the car.
After a little digging this is what had been found. A "Dime bag", a "Coke bag" and a "Spice bag" Not sure if the previous owner was a big druggie or he thought I was. Non the less, a very interesting find. Kaiser also informed me there is another bag stashed somewhere in the car. He just couldn't get a good hit on it with that nose of his. So I guess that will be a future find.
