View Full Version : custom center caps, who does them now?

I'm working on a long term project, and had been talking with r2-limited.com regarding getting a one off badge done that was basically the same as the center caps he did.

Then I got an email from him that he was moving on, and would be shifting his business on "in a short while".

Haven't seen anyone step up for it on the forums, and all the "send us a picture, we'll make a badge for you..." Folks...Well, they're not craftsmen... Polyurethane coating instead of epoxy, which isn't uv proof, they wasn't an image, not a scalable vector, etc, etc...

So, I'm asking if anyone does center cap badges, and/or diners badges in the same manner as r2-limited? Epoxy domed, quality graphics, etc, etc?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not surprised that R2 isn't going to be doing that anymore. It seems like such a niche market that it probably isn't worth the hassle. Maybe Revlimiter could design something custom for you.

Hi Guys, I found some real metallic custom center caps (not badges) on http://www.upstreamcentercaps.com/center-caps
It is not cheap though.

I was trying to get R2 to make me some custom ones, but I got sidetracked, and when I got back to him he had stopped producing them.
So I came up with my own tediously involved idea for some formula panasport caps using a set of original eunos center caps:

Wow! Nice idea. I just saw a set of Eunos caps for sale recently.

Rev said that he is not offering them at the moment due to trying to find the right epoxy to coat them.

I hope to have something for sale. I'm not sure when due to crushing gauge orders, but I promise, I will put any available time I have into it.

RevLimiter quality is worth the wait. And, if past experience is any indicator, the wait will not be long.

ClubNA makes the Eunos ones as well. But for full metal I bet that Retro Modern can make some.
