CENTER CAP COLORS

[selkplitt]

I want to redo the center caps on my wheels and am curious if anyone knows the colors of the blue and the red caps and the best way to do them? thanks

findthe year you are trying to replicate and go to paintscratch.com and look at the color chips and order them there

Small paint brush and a steady hand. If you aren't confident in doing it yourself, find a local college art major or a craft store with some recommendations to people who paint dolls or those ceramic houses.

I think i once found a thread on here about thinning the paint you are using and using syringes to inject the paint into the depressed area you want painted. from what it looks like... No tape, no brush strokes, and less chances of slips. and Sorry but i don't remember the name of the thread but it seemed like a good idea. The person said they read about it in a tractor restoration magazine for restoring metal badges and such.

thanks for your help, I never thought of a syringe and thinnning the paint, but that would definitely work. I will look at paint scratch and see if I can find the colors.
