Dog dish hubcap paint
Hello all,
I have a 1962 GMC 1000 Series with chrome dog dish hubcaps. Does anyone have a clue as to how the factory would have painted the interior circle, letters GMC and inside/outside of the concentric rings in red without coloring the surrounding chrome? |

Re: Dog dish hubcap paint
I have wondering as well. I have a thought it was some type of stencil or overlay.
There aren’t any videos that I could find specific to that hubcap. Here is one on a different type of 67-72 Chevy that may generate some ideas or how not to’s. https://youtu.be/yApxN6hMF-M?feature=shared I have also looked to emblem restoration for tips. One such tip was to use a syringe for filling computer ink cartridges and model enamel paint. DIY Emblem Restoration https://youtu.be/rCJOgaaqAlU?si=wm4VrNqwdZ-jwzFC and a small paint brush technique on a grill center piece that would've worked with the syringe method. https://youtu.be/lbXglhM079M?si=FfMFKbtWGK_DeK58 I have three that are in fair to good condition, 62 GMC Painted caps, to work on. Looks like there is enough of a "well" to put the red in there.
