Am refinishing hubcaps off my '71 Series 2. Like most old cars, mine has after-market mags, but now I have the steelies and want to go back to original. Chrome and paint the hubcaps need but what is the original colour - I tend to think it's just off black, tending towards dark blue, but is it flat or gloss?

Many thanks,

Richard

They are kinda a dark grey. Mine are packed away or I'd get a photo of them. This is off EBay.

Here's a lot of good information on the steelies and the hub caps.

EDIT: I added another good one. For some reason I thought they were the same thread....oh yeah, I just woke up.
