For all of you with faded Boyd centercaps !
For all of you with faded Boyd centercaps ! I have heard alot of people with the problem that there centercaps started to fade. Mine started fading alot so instead of getting them re-emblemed I thought they would look better this way.
I first taped them up, scratched them with 400, and hit them with satin black. Then I applied a decal that was made for me from Brent Franker. Then after it was on I cleared over the whole cap. The first pic shows the top three caps without clear and the bottom one finished. The last two are the final result.

Looks nice. I'm for anything that covers up the name "Boyd Coddington"
I did a similar thing to my factory "ABS" center caps. I painted them black and added Pontiac Arrowheads.

I hate Boyd centercaps. WTF was he thinking when he put an oval shape on a round cap? I had the same ones on my '02 GMC and they turned pink after about 6 months.
The newer boyds on my orange SS have nicer billet caps. I wonder if you could order some like this and replace them? https://ls1tech.com/99Camaro/pages/DSC00526.htm

That looks pretty nice.
Tony are your Caps actually billet? Wow! The Boyds I had on my truck had a fake-*** cast piece of ****. They faded within a few months, and were easily dented upon installation of them. I called about replacements, they wanted $25 a piece.
I highly doubt I'll ever buy another Boyd product.

Hmmm with the problems the caps have I'm glad Steve had billet caps made my Blasters before I bought them from him. I don't like other peoples names on my cars anyway.

I'd bet they would fit on smooties, as the hole size is *usually* the same for wheels on the same style of car.
