Fixed my tire cover..finally!

Well after one botched attempt at spraying my tire cover, I finally got it looking good. I wanted to remove my dealership's name...especially after the dealings I had with them.[;)]
Hopefully it holds up well!

Nice job! I can't tell where the dealer name was before!
I may try to do the same on my rig.

Very nice as I want a tire cover (cloth) bad and gave mine away here because of the dealer name and I hated the dealer so I wish I would have thought about this. nice work!

I was going to do that with mine.  I had the soft elastic cover with the hard vinyl center.  But it just got stolen. [:@]

I'm having mine painted now, it'll be the same color as the body and also carry a cool vinyl/airbrush graphic.  Take a few weeks to complete but I'm excited - then it can get stolen. [:'(]

Nice work SF.  It's a lot harder than it looks getting it right isn't it?  Mine gave me ulcers.   You did a real professional job.

I like that cover with the "like nothing else"...I can't find a cover with that anywhere and my dealer did not give me a cover [:@]

Nice job Solarflare

Yeah, it's a lot tougher than it looks...the first time I did it I had to remove the paint with laquer thinner.....because I screwed it up bad. Don't use the hammered finish paints......they look good on the can, but don't spray good on the covers. Also spray the lettering first. Get a really good coat on them....let them dry for a few days and then use the paint mask (I made the Hummer lettering with paint mask vinyl), to cover the letters over.....then spray the flat black. Yes I said flat black. I first bought satin black, but even if you are really good at spray bombing, you still got the streaking look.....but I'm really fussy!!! The flat black sprays really well and looks really good.
My cover is still slightly messed up, but only if you look really close...maybe from 5" away[;)]
Now I need to get rid of the chrome decal on my door and replace it with something else.....!
