1967 250 SL - hub cap paint stencil

(1/7) > >>

Hello All,
I have finally gotten around to repainting my chipped up full dish (280 SL style) hubcaps.
I bought the plastic center stencil a few months back from Authentic Classics in NY- $45 bucks.

We got to fit the stencil on the hub cap and its too small in diameter by about 1/4 inch so the outside ring doesn't cover the outside ring of the chrome embossed star in the center.
I am waiting for a response from Authentic but I thought I would post here. Odd thing.

Are there 2 sizes of center hub cap stars? Early 2 pc and later one piece ???

It's interesting to find that my small star stencil fits the chrome star on the trunk lid though. Can you purchase a stencil for the trunk star also ?   

Murphy's Law strikes again.

best,
jz

Yes, certainly, it is so. For the cars of the sixties. Earlier there were even more sizes for various models of M-B cars.

There are 2 versions sold at Auth Classics. 230-250 version and 280 version. Maybe you purchased the 230-250 version?

Yes Tyler, I got the beige colored stencil for 190/230/250 SL's.
The 280 SL stencil is shown as black plastic.

Idiot me didn't differentiate. I stupidly told them 1967 250 SL forgetting I had later hub caps.

Mystery solved and I am the fool.

Thanks, Tyler.
