Another tip... I use poster paint, the stuff you get for kids. After you clean the wheel cover well as Dick suggested, apply the poster paint to the areas you want to mask. After you apply the paint and it has had time to cure, gently clean the cap with soap and water. The poster paint and the paint on top of it will wash off, leaving the paint in the desired areas. --Roger van Hoy, '55DeSoto, '42DeSoto, '66Plymouth, '73Duster, '81 Imperial, Washougal, WA
