Restoring 1954 hubcaps
Hi guys, have a set of 54 hubcaps and was wondering if anybody knew how they painted them at the factory. Did they use a template to go over the hub In order to paint the little squares red. I see a lot of time masking off each square to paint them. Any suggestions or is this the only way. Thanks Bob W
