not sure if you could paint over and then have someone air brush it, but you can purchase a bestop spare tire cover (denim preferred for air brushing) for around $28.00, and have it airbrushed by the same person who did mine.
What the dealer gave me:


Air brushing was done by a fellow in FL. I ordered the cover, and shipped it to him, and a week later, it was on the vehicle.
He had a hard time finding a 33" cover, so that is why I ordered and shipped. A stock size cover (31-32") he might have in stock.

What I replaced it with:

What did he charge you for the airbrushing ?.
a vinyl grafix guy said he could make a sticker with actual photo of h3 with some sort of design to put on inner circle of hardback cover. i havent stoped by his shop yet to look at his work. Im not sure how it would look

[f5fstop]

about $80.00 and I believe he will do about anything

list name address phone # ill give him a call i could ship hardback cover to fla. his work looks good nice detail.

thanks ill call him this week i was thinking of a gray h3 ripping out of a tear blending in to the black cover with background in tear of beach or rocks or hills ?

We had our graphic guys make a black background then had them use silver to do the logo.. I think it looks GREAT.. pic attached

[fourfourto]

wet 1 is that vinyl put on with heatgun overlayed on plastic ?. does it go over the dimpled plastic well and how much did he charge you. i was also thinking of removing the advertisment on mine with acidtone (nail polish remover) i dont know if it will damage plastic its in a plastic bottle i wouldnt mind look of all black till i deside what to do. might try removing small tradmark (R) as a test and see if it discolors plastic ?.

I was kind of pissed when I found out my H3 didn't come with a wheel cover but after reading this thread I'm glad it didn't. I was able to buy a plain H3 tire cover that looks just like the "dealer" ones (it says Hummer H3) but I don't have to drive around looking like a walking (or driving?) advertisement for the dealership.

I finally desided To stop looking for a local airbrush guy(found 1 guy he wanted $500.00 BAM!)
I called airbrush xperteez in fla as recomended by f5fstop (by the way f5fstop thank you very much)Mark is a pleasure to talk to and will put a Gray H3 bustin out a rip/tear on my hardbacked cover and get rid of advertizment.
Only 150.00 total(he takes credit cards) I will take some pics for him and send it out on monday.Ill post pics of finished cover in a couple of weeks.Cant wait to get it back.

[f5fstop]

Glad to hear I was of some help.
From what I have he does good work. In fact I had a woman behind me in rush hour last week for about six miles. We pulled into the same Target, I parked way out in the boonies as is normal. As I walked down the parking lot she mentioned that the eyes on the wolf were mesmerizing, and actually spooked her. But she was smiling.

Below is rough scetch from fla airbrush guy.
Adjustments are - 7 slot grill, more vertical windshild,rim detail, truck to be a little smaller w/more background.I sent him several photos to go by.I should have it back in about a week.

[Sewie]

Cool. Is it going to be colored/B&W?

[fourfourto]

Gray colored rig backgroung trees, mountian, rocks, sky up to his judgement Hopefully he takes care of fine details.same guy who painted f5stop's wolf above.He did a nice job with ehe eyes.

[fourfourto]
