My 85 is all original and only 40K miles. The paints on the caps have faded and I'd really like to see them properly restored. Anyone here do it or know of someone that will do a proper job? I don't want to replace for fear of not matching the wheel color.

TIA

There's a guy named Jim here on Rennlist (small business owner/sponsor) that does incredible work. He has pictures of center caps in his photobucket so I think he does them too. You can find his contact info on this thread:

And his photobucket here:

Many of the colored crests were aftermarket or custom painted..... many variations have been sold including affixing hood badge style enameled overlays. The normal anodized center caps for S wheels had only black as a contrast. Anything else is NOT original....but often looks much better And many dealers installed such along with chrome plating the wheels.
