I did that very thing using paint for plastic models. I wouldn't call them reconditioned, but they look better.

I'm aware of the replacements but I have several hub caps that belong to a friend that he wants to sell but some of the center pieces look pretty bad and was trying to see if you could recondition them.

I think its Krylon that has paint formulated for plastic that might work. I assume it comes in red, but the correct shade??



They do make replacement medallions, assuming that the sedan medallions are the same as the TBirds which I am sure they are. see www.classictbird.com , part # 1141. Kinda pricey at 26.00 each but I bought some for my 56 Bird and they are nice..

Is it possible to be able to redo the red paint on the hub cap center pieces?
