Gary, I can see how that would work. For a ’64 I would have to draw it up. For a driver, I think the wax idea may be less work. It would not have as crisp lines, but then like I said for a driver… …Too bad you don’t make a kit for the 64. James From: Gary <garythepartsdoc@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 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. Gary The Parts Doc From: 'James Douglas' via Chrysler 300 Club

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 International <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Thanks Nick, That is a process I had not thought of! James From: Nick Taylor <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 300 Club International <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
