Bob just painted his hubcaps. I'm sure he can tell you what color he used.

Chinese red. Ace Hardware. Was match for such bolts on my '40 One-Twenty years ago.

Not sure if it's still available but Cook & Dunn's "Flame Red" enamel was a near-perfect match for the original.

Um... you're not going to like it. Purists cover your eyes.
I use Tremclad Red spray paint. Used it on all my wheel rims, all hex nuts on the bumpers, hex stamping on the hub caps, arm rest bases I made for the home made door arm rests, even used it to colour match my upholstery material. Oh, and 1937 Ontario license plates are red, so you can guess what I used to paint those too! I expect I will now be blocked from the site. Bob J. Attach file:  DSC03616.JPG (494.64 KB)

I used Rustoleum red spray paint for my 55 hubcap hexagons. Don't remember which red exactly but it looks good.
Fourney black paint marker for the black ring.

This is what I used. It's close enough for me. The picture comparing is stock color hexagon and what I bought.

I too, used a hardware store 'rattle can dark red' and thought it looked okay. As a detail add-on, I painted the hex nut edges black. Probably elicit a boo-hiss from the purtists but I thought it looked nice. Chris.
