    Default 10 Hole Wheel Hubcap Script

    Does anyone know whether the script on the 85-86 10 holes were black or natural?

    Thanks for the responses. Appreciate it.

    I thought that was the case. I have a set of natural script ones that are really nice. Any idea what they might be off of?

    I scored an absolutely mint set of 10 holes this week that were early take offs still in the Ronal boxes that replaced them. My 1986 GT that I bought a few years ago has turbine wheels on it. Been looking for a nice set of 10 holes for awhile. Good ones are getting hard to find. Now all I need are some correct hubcaps.

    Wheels are E5SC-1007-BB.

    My 89 LX sport convertible had 10 hole wheels. The logo was there but not painted at all.

    I would use them as is and not even think twice about it.....99/100 people looking at your car will never notice. Plus you could paint the script yourself and be better off than trying to find mint centers that were painted from the factory.

    I think what I'll do is use the natural caps for now as you suggested and look for a set of charcoal script ones over time. Never know what you might find. I was really surprised to run across the wheels.

    Nice work. How did you do it and what did you use for paint? I've been thinking about it but quite a bit of work.

    Thanks! I used Rustoleum and a small paint brush I use for building model kits. Took about 5 minutes each cap.

    I did the same thing on my 88 5.0 badge but instead of red I went blue.

    Seems quick for me. I'm a challenged painter. But, a friend of mine uses modeling paint and brushes for his emblems so maybe I can do it.

    When you spend 30 years building model kits it helps a little.....LOL There were a few times I got out of the line but a little paint thinner on a rag it wiped right off. Maybe your friend will do it for you for pizza and beer.

    I'll see what he says. He is pretty good at it. Me, not so much. What I might do is try it on a cap I'm not too proud of first for practice.

    I painted mine by spaying black spray paint over the script, then had a t-shirt wrapped tight around a paint stick (just for a hard edge) with some enamel reducer on the cloth and wiped over the letters, looked perfect when done and took about 30 seconds.
