Fake Gas Cap Thing

I am on a quest to replace the fake gas cap thing on the back of my car. Needless to say I would like pink or pink ribbon something or other. Any ideas where to look? WADO -THANK YOU in Cherokee : )

Donna I'm not sure I have ever seen one with any pink or ribbon on it? You might have to have a custom thing done. I'm sure we could figure somthing out. You might check ebay they always have somthing you've never seen before.

Good idea, thanks!

hmm thats a tall order Donna..... look around and see what you can find...Im sure somewhere someplace can custom make it.

I painted mine black. And I'm very happy with the results. I'm sure you could maybe just paint it (or parts of it) pink? I have many pics that I took during the painting process if you're interested.

Arts and Crafts....Love it Donna I think Matthews right....we could paint it and add some pink to the mix

I would like to see the pics Matthew. JerBear I think we have an arts & crafts project!

I know Cassie is up for it!! Shes a arts and crafts kind of Girl

So are you... arts and craft kind of girl that is...

Ok. I'll try to abbreviate and show the major pics through the process...

This is how it came off. Really popped off quite easy, with a little plastic paint stripping tool.



This is the emblem removed...



I masked the center cap, and sanded the silver part...



here it is with one or two coats of black...



I think this was after a few coats of clearcoat...



this is after the clearcoat dried and I took off the masking tape





Just used that 3M masking tape to mount it, and I love how it looks!

if you wanted to just go with a single color i would absolutely do it yourself, but if you want a very custom job. this is a good place that can fill pretty much any order you can think to throw at them on any part on your car.

Very "unique" price too!

But do it yourselfers are great....crack open a beer, invite some friends....make it a party!

Yeah, I painted mine for a grand total of about $5 bucks. Quite a bit less than paying $200 to get it airbrushed

yeah that's why i said if you want a single color i would never pay someone to do it, but if you actually are looking for a very custom job then it's a good place. i'm sure you could still find someplace local that would still be cheaper though.

Wow, you guys rock. Thanks for all the ideas. I feel a project with beer and good friends coming on!

If your really wanting to do this. I think I can help. I have a material that is used for painting. I can cut your ribbon out of this material so you could paint the pink ribbon. Then all you need to do is buy a pony badge and install it. I think it would look really good.

Really it could be done alot of different ways. Just need to know what you really want it to look like.

Man that looks good!!

Oh... Cool. Donna? Ya there?

We need to get a bold moves sticker small enough to put there. Now that would be cool.

Just thinking out loud!!

Ill pass on that

It would be kinda cool just ot have BMMC in the center.
