Dresden Guy 24 #1 Posted February 6, 2011 I picked these old chrome hubcaps up this morning but don't know the age/era they are from. I know the RS gurus will know. Has anyone painted the emblem in the middle with black, white or red paint? They appear to be almost NOS. The hubcaps are 10" & 8" This is the 10" I may put them on my B-80, but I don't want them to be anachronistic! Hey guys ... ... tell me how old they might be and would you paint the emblem? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zieg72 209 #2 Posted February 6, 2011 Nice find, up to 1995 as 1996 went to plastic... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #4 Posted February 6, 2011 I would recommend cleaning the backside well and applying a good coat of paint. (like brushed on Rust-Oleum) I have seen the stamped areas painted in red & black and (in most cases) they do look better than the silver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,116 #5 Posted February 7, 2011 The original look of the caps do nothing for me. I painted the ones on my C-100 and they looked much better. I wouldn't be worried at all about painting them if I were you. Do what makes YOU happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VinsRJ 721 #7 Posted February 7, 2011 I agree, they are a really nice find. A little chrome polish and they'd be mint! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,121 #9 Posted February 7, 2011 My 94 416-H came with that exact set, so they were at least 1994. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
