yeah,

what i did was i took scotch tape and taped the entire centercap. then i took a box cutter (exacto knive would have been perfered) and i cut around the emblem part. then i just took off all the peices of tape that were not covering the black A. after that, i painted the centercap a few coats, and the clear a few coats. then when its dry i too the box knife and sorta scraped the still taped part intill it came up. once the peice of tape comes up enough, just peel with your fingers. be carefull when pulling the tape, also make sure its completely dry when u start peeling.

That looks really sick, i agree the red centers are a little distracting but to each his own.

i wouldnt use the graphite. buy some gunmetal. on the right angles and lighting, they can go from look like gunmetal, to grey, to black.
