We are polishing skid plates and painting H2 what ever color someone wants but the basic is black. Requires a core charge until You return to us a usable core not dented etc.
PM Dragon or call the office and ask for Bryan 501-327-MODS about Your idea and He can talk to Our paint crew and see if We can do it. If You PM Him it would give Him tme to look it over and have an answer when You call Him. I would imagine We can. First time anyone asked for that so Dragon will need to research. We have not found anything yet We cannot do.
Part of the problem would be the big H2 stamped in it. We may have to look at smoothing that out unless You want it to go right over the H2 which would be easier. WE have one and can bring in a great airbrush artist. We could design it so that it took in the complete H2. In fact the more i think about it the H2 left on an logo over it would be cool.
Like to help. PM Dragon. He is on vaction till Tuesday, if it can be done We can do it.

I have been polishing metals for 20 years and doing skid plates since the release of the H2 (many from this forum, Thanks Jason)
Polishing metals is all I do. Please call for all the details.

Problem is, you need to get it re done every 1.5 years, unless you keep up with it. There is no question that the quality of B.Lee work is impeccable. A friend of mine got his done through B.Lee and it looked awesome (very good work), but a year and half later, it looked like it was never touched.
I sent mine out to get it chromed; It cost me about 340.00 bucks (including shipping).
As far as custom skid plates as you indicated with a custom team logo, I don’t know of anyone who does that.

are you wanting to replace the "H2" with your team logo?

Here is a link to the Logo:

I have a metallic red (maroon) H2 and thought that it might look pretty cool to have the logo about the place the "H2" is on the skid plate.
It may be a bad idea the more I think about it. Any ideas?

Cool. Here is a link to someone you can try about the custom skid plate

Para is on the right track.
You would probably just have to get a plain, non stamped skid plate and then put the logo on it.
You could get the logo stamped in it--almost anything can be done--but that will cost you a small fortune. The cost of the mold/stamp would cost a few bucks.
By the way--I have had my H2 on my skid plates done in colors--I go to a sign place after I chrome the skid plate and have them put on the same tape they use for truck/car wraps. It costs about $60.00 and is cheaper then paint because there is no masking.
I have had them painted but it costs much more without any real noticable improvement--the plate is tilted and low--no one ever knows it is just tape--and....I am really fussy about the custom work I do so it is not just about cost.
Joe:
Let me know where you got your plate chromes for $340.00. That is a really decent price--shipping the full plate becasue of its odd size is a killer.
If you are looking for a chrome H2 Skid Plate, the least expensive on line retailer is Carolina Classic Trucks:
http://www.carolinaclassictrucks.com/p-RW500-1.html
The part number is RW500-1 priced at $235.20 with the return of your used Skid Plate. The vendor is Real Wheels. Great product!!!
For the H2 logo on the Skid Plate, try Auto Trim Design. They have many different colors and even two color H2 logos. The price is only $31.45 plus Shipping and it is better than paint and will outlast your truck.

Call and ask for the Hummer H2 Skid Plate Decal, they even have the 04 Victory Red color available.

Once you decide on which way to go, Zoop Seal it. It will protect the chrome or polish with a sealer and you only need to apply every year. I know it has lasted for over a year and a half on a buddies Harley F150.
