Center cap removal...

Does anyone know how to remove the center cap?

 

Take the wheel off and go at it from behind!

 

Lol nice!

Thanks for the help!

 

Go away Stig. We don't need that yet.

 

I took the lazy hard way instead.

 

On mine (2019 TSS wheels) you just grab the cap firmly and snatch it off. It is held on by tension. Hope this helps.

 

Thank you so much you just saved me a lot of time and hassle.

 

@Beau thanks again!

 

You’re welcome! What color are you painting them? I put some white vinyl on mine to do a proof of concept but never fully committed and ended taking it off. Red rolled across my mind as well but I could never commit on that either. I’m interested in seeing your outcome!

 

@Beau looks good! I'm going with red. I'll make sure to post some pictures as soon as I'm done painting the center caps.

 

@Beau my photoshop skills aren't the best but I think red would look nice in your setup as well!

 

Any follow up? Curious how your finished product looks. You now have me thinking I could add some blue and do the blue color lugs to give some accent to the wheel but match the truck still.

 

X2, except MGM.

 

The final result.... I think it came out great! Sorry for those of you waiting to see the results had to let them dry. It's been raining almost every day here as well.

 

Those look good! Definitely think I'll do this in blue and get the blue color lugs! Thank you for sharing. Any tips or lessons learned?

 

@RobertD thanks!

Just take take your time let the paint dry well especially on plastic it needs at least 5 to 7 days. Don't do what I did, I had to actually do this twice the first time I was lazy to remove the painters tape as soon as I was done. I did it the next day horrible mistake as soon as you're done painting remove the masking tape so it doesn't lift any of the paint with it.

This is the tape I used, also an exacto knife will come in handy and somensome papers for covering the caps.

Good luck @RobertD

 

Looks great.
Can you take a close up picture? Just want to see how the texture in the emblem looks. Thanks

 

Looks great! And thanks for the mockup on my truck...I just saw it. I'm not sure the red T is is for me though. IDK, need to let it sink in a bit before I make a decision.
