Here is a tip, if you are painting your Cosmic center caps.
« on: Monday,July 27, 2015, 09:05:17 PM »
Hello!

I purchased a set of center caps and badges for my Cosmics from Banks and they arrived with the badges already attached.  Unfortunately, I needed to paint the caps, but I did not want to touch the badges.  Ugh.

For what it's worth... after much searching I discover the plastic cap from a regular one gallon milk container fit perfectly in there.  I mean I could hear it snap when I pushed it in place!  I sprayed the caps and popped the plastic cap off and shazam!  Beautiful.

I just want to share this information with anyone who might face the same situation.

Regards,
Bob

Pretty clever! What color were the center caps when you got them?

Oh, sorry. That's the 'before' picture. They come in that light grey color.
