Re: [Chrysler300] F Hubcaps

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Noel and All:
The Chrysler drawing for the 300F wheel cover (PN 2122531) states "same as  
#1856400 Assy - wheel cover, except Flag Red Paint C-7415, in place of  
semi-gloss black, C-1412-E."  Since the black for the 300E cover was stated  as 
semi-gloss, and there was no differing specification for the red, I would  
conclude the red is also a semi-gloss.  I do not have specifics on the  
actual Chrysler Color number with regard to gloss.
 
Now, what is Flag Red?  It is also the color of the red specified in  all 
the red white and blue 300 plastic medallions.  Therefore, if one has a  good 
NOS medallion, that is the Flag Red color.  It is easier to match if  the 
medallion is smooth in the red area like those on the D, G, H, and J wheel  
covers.
 
I do, however, have an official Chrysler color master for the ram manifold  
red, C-7107-A.  When an original medallion is held on the surface of that  
master, the two colors are almost a perfect match!  For some time the Club  
has suggested using Cummins Engine Red (Apex Red) as a substitute for the 
ram  paint, although it seems just a wee bit darker.  Unless you want to  try 
and match the medallion red, the Apex red would probably be a decent  
substitute for the Flag Red.
 
As for the "gear", I am sure they are anodized.  Also, very nice  
reproductions are available through the Club Store.  
300ly, Gil Cunningham

Hello all - 



I've got our F hubcaps apart -  question on repainting the centers:  
Looking at the Club archives I see  reference to Cummins' Apex Red #3163075 as the 
paint color for these centers,  as well as for the crossrams. 

• Is my understanding  correct, that this Apex Red is the color to use for 
the hubcaps? 
• What was the original paint finish - flat? semigloss? gloss? Paint on  
ours now is flat - looks to be factory original.    



Regarding the Gears - were these produced with some sort of  factory 
protective finish? They're in very good condition, but do have a few  dings that 
I'm thinking of sanding down. Am I better just leaving them be?  



Thanks,
