This reminds me that I made a mask system for 57/58 Chrysler
300 hub caps. I reversed engineered the little windows and center in Auto Cad.
When I had the dimensions correct, I sent AutoCad file to sign shop to CNC plot
cut out of sign vinyl, (lots of work).
Go to GLNelson.com and click on 1957- 58 Chrysler 300, that
will open up to 30+ photos that shows how the mask is applied and end results.
The result is very crisp paint lines. I used black paint for
contrast.
I still sell mask system for 57/58 300 caps. $75 for all the
material for Four hub caps + a little extra to test with + complete write
instructions.

Subject: RE: {Chrysler 300} 300K hub caps Hey Bob, another great idea. Although on a 300K with the MANY
little ridges that would be fun. The only other thing I can think of is to make a mask for the
inner and out edges of the 300K hubcap to protect that from paint. Then,
for the rib area melt a pot of wax and carefully brush the ribs. One can razor
or wipe off any mistakes until one has it right. Then paint the section and let it dry for a couple of days.
Then put the hubcap into hot water and wipe away the painted wax. James From: Bob Jasinski <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>
The wheel cover painting trick
I’ve used for my G (very similar cover) is to take a piece of quality printer
paper, I use 11 x 17 ledger paper because I have it on hand, and roll it in a
circle and set it into the recess in the cover. Mark the point that it
fits and masks nicely, remove it, and tape it to itself top and bottom making a
cylinder shape. Set into prepared wheel cover and spray into the cylinder
covering the bottom as the factory did. Easy, and no masking tape
involved. You can also use thin plastic sheet if you have it, I’ve done it
both ways. Sorry I don’t have a picture handy. Bob J From: 'James Douglas' via Chrysler 300 Club

Thanks Nick, That is a process I had not thought of!

<nicksgaragesd@xxxxxxxxx> I've used this method for painting emblems and other things,
maybe it would work. Mask off the major part of the wheel cover. Paint the
colored areas with a few light coats until you get the coverage you need. Then
use acetone (I use nail polish remover) on a cloth and carefully remove the
paint from the ribs in the painted sections and any
overspray. I used this method on my 300F wheel covers when I was
repainting the red. It looks like it would be simple to mask them off but the
tapered cone shape is tough, so a little paint got up the sides. Got nice clean
line by using the acetone to remove the overspray. On Fri, Jan 20, 2023 at 8:48 AM 'James Douglas' via Chrysler
