66 chrome hubcap paint color
What color was the center painted on a 1966 crome chevy hubcap? I am wanting to repaint mine and I cant tell if it was red or orange. Does someone know the correct color to paint them?

Re: 66 chrome hubcap paint color
It's in between. I compared an NOS 66 cap to a few colors I had in the shop, and Duplicolor engine enamel DE1607 came pretty close. Not exact, but close enough to pass. My guess is a chrome cap is no different.

I used the same red/orange as above and painted the entire hubcap with ivory before applying the red/orange. Same ivory color as GM used in '64
