Ford Blue Hub cap paint? Anyone paint their own hub caps? Suggestions on a good match of the "Ford" blue paint OR have a mix formula that you use? I "quick" checked a few like Third Gen, Mac's, Carpenters, Snyder's and a forum check here but did not find any thing. I will call Mike at 10am but in the mean time figured I would toss a line out here on the barn. ALSO any pointers on best found techniques...I have to paint to "Locking" caps!!! Thanks "Barner's" and Happy Friday to all.

Re: Ford Blue Hub cap paint? Robert,
The original name of the color was "Harding Blue", but one of the One-Shot sign painter blues is a very good match. I should know which one off the top of my head, but not today. My recollection is leaning toward the Reflex Blue. |

Check the dollar tree for nail enamel. Built in brush. |
Re: Ford Blue Hub cap paint? Just painted in Ford on my '41 coupe hubcaps. Takes a steady hand. Lighting the work area is tricky because of reflections; had to turn off the overhead lights and illuminate the hubcap from the side, to shadow the edges of the indented letters. Used a sharpened popsicle stick dipped in a little cup of xylol to scrape and wipe off the inevitable bits of paint that went outside of the lines. Looks pretty good from a few feet away.

Re: Ford Blue Hub cap paint? Pin stripping tape is a good edge maker when doing detail work such as this.
It gives you that "cushion" of error and when the paint is dry, you remove it and have a straight clean edge. |

Re: Ford Blue Hub cap paint? I Found that Testors Enamel # 1111 Dark Blue was a very good match, Shops that sell Models sell the paint, here in Canada , Toys R Us has the Testors Paint.

Go into the One Shot Paint web site and there is a location finder by zip code. Usually art supply and hobby shops sell the paint. Pinstripes also use One Shot paint. If you go on there Website they have a color chart. Hope this helps, Tom |
Re: Ford Blue Hub cap paint? If your just purchasing new hubcaps I think Drake has them already painted.Decals hold up pretty good for a quick fix!
