Just finished up my hubcaps. Not perfect, but very presentable.

Looks like a nice result. I believe the Packard Club makes stickers for this application, or maybe one of the regions does. Paint is another option but takes a bit longer. Either way I think they turned out nice. Mine are not perfect either, but it's surprising what a good polish and shine will do to hide the defects in these.

From 10' away they look brand new! My thought was if I polish them well enough they'll be to shiny to look at so nobody will see the imperfections. 😄 Besides my car is a surdriver, so a few imperfections are completely acceptable.

Reflective Scotch stickers were sold by the dealers and the local NorCal PAC chapter used to sell originals still stapled to the dealer display board. I had sets on several of my Packards and they looked quite nice! As I recall, there were different hex sizes and they had several choices available.
