Same as I did mine a few years back. The best tool for this by far is a potters wheel

Here’s a look at my P02s, that I restored. First I had them professionally polished, then I masked and painted. I used a leather tool to cut the end of the tape for the fins. I rounded both ends of the tape, a lot of time put into masking.

Your restored covers look GREAT. Those covers are really heavy. My 1971 came with them new. I replaced them with Keystone Klassic wheels which were also heavy but I think they still came in lighter that the original wheels and covers.

All looking great. I never got anywhere trying to find out info on a set I bought and are now on the red LT-1 which have different centres. There's no GM part number on them so I decided they were home made out of blocks of aluminium and likely a one off set?

Improvised Paintstation
Removing the tapes
Shoud have repressured the tapes prior to painting
But I can live with it as I learned now I can improve the other 3 and mounted you will not see it from normal distance

Hey Roma,
I have a question, can you paint the wheel cover emblem? I just received some P02’s from a forum member & going to start to dive in this weekend. If not, I will have to buy new ones. By the way, yours are coming out very well. Congrats.
Have a safe & healthy New Years.
