Restoring 54 hubcaps

[John S.]

I'am restoring a set of 1954 hubcaps. I have come to the painting part of the bowtie and the indention's. What blue and red is a matching color to orginal's. Thanks for any help. john

I looked into this...

Because the red is almost gone from mine. The red is Sportsman Red, and I suppose the blue might be Pennant Blue but I'd be guessing. Dale Pearman would know. The really tough part is you need to make a mask and spray the paint on, or the tape edges will be a dead giveaway. A mask with 12 holes should be enough to do the red dots, just take your time making and using the masks.
