rearend rebuilt and hubcaps finally with red paint

I got the truck back Friday from the rearend shop. delivered it Wednesday morning on a trailer. Got it back Friday evening and drove it about 35 miles home, really for the first time in three years. Ran and drove good.!!!!!
Complete rearend rebuild and switched from an open rear axle to a posi. And also painted the Red on the hubcaps. Here is a pick.

Very nice. How did you do the red on the hub caps? Did you mask or paint by hand?

painted by hand and i used my swivel stool and centered it and by the time i had my 5th beer i was ready to paint. I spun the hubcap in circles slowly while i held the paint brush steady.
