Default 1932 repro hubcaps

I have been looking for a set of hubcaps for my roadster project. I have not seen any that had the center painted blue? Who makes the best set for the 32??? Thanks

Most of the time you have to paint your own hubcaps. I do a lot of steelies and caps and all of the caps I order come plain. Bob Drake has in the past offered painted caps but who knows with Back order Bob?

The Bob Drake '32 hubcaps I have seen are painted an incorrect shade of blue. Too light! You would think this would be an easy fix....guess not!

I have found that the innards on the reproduction hubcaps are made of some sort of unprotected fast rusting metal. I spray a light coating of undercoating on the underside to protect them from rusting.

I bought reproduction '33 hubcaps and had a local artist paint them Authentic Ford Blue. He did a good job. The color is very available through Mac's ,etc.
