Re: Refurbishing Dog Dish Hubcaps

Trust me, you will be much more careful and diligent when removing and installing them!

Re: Refurbishing Dog Dish Hubcaps

I taped a hubcap up to see how it would turn out. Not near perfect, but good enough now I have to tape the other three I guess. The tape pulled a little bit around the center outer ring, but I should be able to touch it up. I used scotch 1/8" artist tape. It worked well and was flexible enough I didn't go out of my mind.

Re: Refurbishing Dog Dish Hubcaps

I use this 1/4" 3M tape, it works very well.

Available on Ebay for 11 or 12 bucks shipped.

what is that tape? I can't read the style on the picture. Thanks. I think the 1/4" will be better to work with.

Re: Refurbishing Dog Dish Hubcaps

Your cap turned out nice! Do you need to paint the black on the two NOS caps? Couldn't you put both of them on the drivers side- if you're worried about the sheen matching

I live back a 1/4 mile dirt road. The truck is on my homepage. It's nice, but i hate to use the NOS caps on a 'sunny day driver'. I'd rather trade them off to someone who has a show piece.
