    Has anyone repainted their center caps on their 65 Shelby/Crager wheels? What kind of paint and what colors did you use?
    Thanks

    Hi Dave
    I use self-etching primer, and then I use Duplo color Wimbledon White, and then I use a black magic marker on the CS logo because you can always touch that up because the paint doesn't always stick that good, because it's a raised surface. You can always keep the magic marker in the glove box. Regards, Mike 5S550

    Was the CS in the center of the cap actualy painted? I was told only the background was originally painted white.
    Thanks.
