I have tried the link and it says website is busy,
so if you have this information elsewhere I would appreciate
it.

and refinish
Matt,
Check out the
extensive detail on our website at <http://imperialclub.com/Repair/Wheels/covers.htm>.
The black paint should be flat, but satin black looks quite nice and holds up
a little better if you're willing to veer from the most correct
restoration.
Your three matching covers sound like they're from a '68
(the only year with non-painted center wells). The '66 cover is unique in that
it sits a fraction of an inch proud of the wheel (because it's surrounded by
cooling slots built into the back of the cover). Also the '66 valve stem pokes
through the ribbed area rather than the outer edge of the cover as on
'67-69.
Again, the website link above explains this all in clear
detail. Good luck!

I tried searching the archive and
get a busy signal from the site when I try to go to a link so
here I ask my question. My 66 came to me with non-painted
centers and I lost one in transit. I got a correct replacement
that has a black center that needs to be redone and while at it I want to do
the other 3.
1.
What is the best procedure for this? I have them all apart so
now I need to
paint.
2. Paint-black--should this be a gloss or what
and what kind of paint would be
best?
