Title: Need Hubcap Painter Recommendation
Post by: bossanov on October 06, 2009, 23:13:46

I need to have some hubcaps painted.  Can anyone recommend an experienced shop that can do a decent job?

Thanks,
Bossaov

This is not a difficult job and there are several strings on the site about - use the search function. There are two basic methods, use of the MB masking tool (which some members have, and I believe have lent out) or use masking tape and mask off the areas to be left chromed. The masking method gives a sharper line, and takes a bit more time (it took me less than a half an hour to mask each hubcap). I got the paint from PaintScratch (on line source and there are others) in a rattle can, and it did a great job.
