Cheers guys.

I made my hub caps up properly over the past couple of days. I had done a badge in the center of the hubcaps before...



...but I wasn't happy with the look so decided rather than gluing a badge into the hole, I would cast a slightly smaller badge directly into the hubcap.

Using one of my nose badge casts and some body filler I made up a master hub cap and took a silicone mold from it. By placing a hub cap with a hole in it in the mold I could cast the badge directly onto the hubcap.



This is the various stages of the casting from empty hub cap to a sanded smooth hub cap with logo.
