Title: Reflective Center Caps
Post by: douglasskemp on December 16, 2006, 12:43:37 AM
Does anybody know any source or tricks for refinishing the center cap inserts so they are red again?  I have several that look like the second picture, but only two that are nice like the first.

I do not want to pay 200 dollars for a set of NOS caps.  I am not trying to restore my 77 Coupe, so NOS parts would be a waste in my opinion.  I want to get a set of the american racing ansen sprint wheels in 15" and would love to give them the extra touch of a set of nicely restored center caps like the original 13" slot wheels had.

Thanks all!

Bill,
You are one of the good ones.  If I could give you more than 1 positive feedback, I would.  I really would prefer to give you +5.  These centers are in terrific shape. 

Too anyone dealing with blink77, you are dealing with good people.  Thanks again Bill.
