NOS Blue Bowtie Hubcaps & how to make them blue!

To read further discussion on this topic go here- LINK




I restore a lot of hubcaps and even make/cut & roll 3/4T front 4x4 caps. I keep getting requests for "blue" bowtie caps, not the yellow.
It is only blue paint...anyone can paint the bowties blue.
Here is an NOS blue, an NOS yellow, and the yellow "painted blue"...and pics of how to do it. Hope this helps.

The local auto paint supply store will mix any color and put it in spray can for us...OR just try to find a blue that is close from existing supplies.
