I've refinished 2 of 4 hubcaps.
I thought I'd post some photos.
I used:
DupliColor #88-00511 Platinum
DupliColor #88-00941 Black
DupliColor #DAP 1692 Gray Hot Rod Primer
DupliColor #T125 Clear Top Coat
DupliColor #CP199 Adhesion Promoter
Model Master #l790 Chrome Silver
Mine had been repainted black when I bought the truck:
1. I sanded and cleaned the caps with TSP.
2. Applied 2 coats of Adhesion Promoter.
3. Applied 5 light coats of Primer.
4. Sanded with 400 grit.
5. Cleaned with TSP.
6. Applied 5 light coats of Platinum.
7. Masked the center portion.
8. Applied 5 light coats of Black
9. Painted the logo with Chrome Silver
10. Cleaned with TSP.
11. Applied 5 light coats of Clear Coat
12. Voila:
The primer and paint are all enamel.
The clear coat is acrylic, but it's OK to use it ON TOP of enamel.
