Wheelcover Supplier

Hi James

We use Victory Design £20 each

I have found that some covers are not very good for vinyl lettering. The vinyl doesn`t stick well. (orange peel effect ones )
I get mine from Grafityp, They now stock the better kind. They can also have them colour coded to any colour.

Hi Guys
have dealt with a few wheel cover suppliers in the past and have recently tried fred cutlers.
The service was excellent.
The cover was finished well and is ideal for graphic application
all that and a very competetive price. What more could you ask for?

Quick tip if you buy the type of wheel cover aquaries supply they are covered with silicon from the moulding process I asume.

Take a gas blow lamp and pass it back and forth in an even pattern (Taking care not to burn or melt the Elasticated edge bit) Quite quickly
turn cover 90 degrees and repeat.

This burns the silicon off and seems to give a better surface to recive vinyl.

I found that washing it down with certain fluids only spreads the silicon not remove it.

This is also useful on some plastic ojects before they are screen printed

Hi Bob
Perfect advice Bob – on the nail.
The WheelCovers are made from Polyprop. and the silcons in the material rise to the surface. If you are using standard polyprop screen printing inks and you don’t flame off the silicons – your ink can just ‘slide’ off the silicon ‘skin’ when inks are dry. Flaming is an excellent way to cope. After the inks are dry – the silcons still rise, – but thro’ the applied inks. The non stick properties of the polyprop are then passed onto your printed design.
Aquarius also print on the Wheel Covers. They use Appollo Dynapol inks and put a disclaimer in each printed cover – ‘don’t use powerwashers’ etc
