Consider getting a vinyl overlay, with whatever emblem you want. Brent Franker will make them for you.

Do you have any examples? I am not familiar with this, Do I just send in the caps I have and he works on them? Oh and how much would this cost?

Thanks,
Andy

Here is Brent's site, he does good work and is easy to deal with it. http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/vinyl/vinyl.htm He makes the vinyl, sends them to you, and you apply them to your center caps.

It looks like he only does the emblem. When I stated that I needed new centercaps it was because they are flaking and the chevy simble is worn off. Should have stated in first post.
It looks like I still have to get some caps but still may want to get the vinyl. Thanks for your help.

What is the finish on the center cap you have.... painted, polished or chrome? Is the damage something that could be sanded down to provide a smooth surface for a new finish?

It takes two pieces, a vinyl disc to fully cover the center cap, and a symbol to add to it. I had some silver vinyl discs made to cover the cap, then added red Pontiac arrowhead symbols.

It is painted silver and that has mostly flaked off. Yes it could be sanded down to provide a smooth surface.
Ok so I can get vinyl disks to cover the whole cap and then the emblem, thanks. I think I will email Brent Franker and work it out from there. I like his pricing! Thanks for the suggestions.
