Hubcaps for a 64

[Mark and Theresa Elliott <deadfishe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I just received a set of 3 hubcaps that I bought off of ebay.  They were 
pretty dirty, so my first task was to clean them up.  I took the inserts 
out and cleaned up the disk portion and they look pretty good now.  However 
there are a number of small dents and dings in them.  I am not planning on 
this being a concours type car so I am not terribly concerned about them, 
but it would be nice if I could do something to at least make them 
smaller.  Can I hammer the dents/dings to make them smaller?  does it 
require a special type of hammer (I assume that my generic wood working 
hammer won't work, but I do have a small set of body work hammers)?

Also, it appears that the inserts are painted.  Theses ones are painted 
green.  My car will not be green (it is currently white over the original 
tan color, I am not sure what color it will be when I am done, but green 
isn't being considered at this point).  What would be the correct color to 
paint the inserts?  I would assume that they should be the color of the 
body, but the green that is currently on the inserts doesn't appear to 
match any green color I have seen on an Imperial.

Thanks
