Re: Best way to restore hubcaps
Being a thin sheetmetal it takes classic skills to make them "as new". There is a good book on body trim restoration as part of the HotRod series that is worth looking into. It covers a lot of the basics of thin metal restoration. But the fact is most of the dents are going to need to be shrunk out with spot heat and quenching. Practice practice practice. To get "good" to "as new" results metal work is the key. As far as painting, a touchup gun and airbrush give the factory look.
Mister-B used kraylon spray cans to good effect on his truck as I recall though so that is an option.
