I assume you're talking about the center caps. If you have your original caps, take them off and send them to Al Reed in Anaheim, California. His wife, Diane, hand paints the caps, and they're gorgeous. I don't recall the price, but it's reasonable.

Good luck!

Scott do you have a contact e-mail for Al Reed and any idea how much he charges for the hand painting?

I just took the plunge and bought a set off eBay. Have received them just a few days later and the quality is perfect.

There is usually more than one set offered.

Al Reed
3010 E. Coronado Ave., Unit A
Anaheim, CA 92806
(714) 632-3907

Al is pretty-much old school, so he doesn't have e-mail or a web page.

I don't know what he charges for the caps, but the price is very reasonable. Since you're in Oz, it might make sense to ask him if he has any he'll sell outright, without you having to send yours in. The cost of shipping yours to him, and back, might be more expensive than the caps themselves.

Good luck.

I do this as a hobby and have sold many sets to Rennlist and Pelican board members. Click on the link in my signature line for samples of different types of caps I've done and have available - let me know if you're interested.

I have several sets of black fuchs caps painted. You can email me directly at centercaps@comcast.net
