SDLARS Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Thought I had seen a rendition of a '30 where parts of the hubcap were painted red. Can't find the picture now. Was this something that was done to all, most or did the artist just decide it was a good idea? I had a couple of beat up caps so I took one and painted it as you see in the photo. Any And all opinions welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I have several NOS caps. They have all got the one inner red stripe. As an experiment I painted the red stripe on an old cap and painted the center blue, polishing off the letters and the Indian head. I thought it looked sharp but not original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rareindian Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Tinindian is correct-single red stripe. These are all NOS including one out of the original box shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDLARS Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 It's amazing how much that little red stripe adds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I can't tell from your avatar do your bumper clamps have the red on them too, and the black paint on your rad shell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDLARS Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Just got the bumper clamps back and yes, now they are red. Black on the radiator shell? Do you mean on the area below the core around the crank cover? If so, no. I'd forgotten about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Mereness Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 As a sidenote, I have become fond of using a fine brush and rustolium paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris earl uk Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Hi all, bit late to post on this thread but hoping I may be able to obtain a hubcap for my big six pride and joy. Looks like a trophy hunter may of taken a liking today at a local car show to one of my caps. But perhaps I may of forgotten to nip it up tight…. Anyway gutted. Pic attatched of the style / pattern I need to be happy again. I’m in the uk. If I have posted in incorrect place could one of you kind folk suggest the best place. I’m definitely not going to get one of these in England. Kind regards Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
