I got around to painting the Emblems on the Hub caps yesterday.
Taped them off and took them outside for painting.

To compare the color I used a NOS Roof Emblem that I have. Two different Dupli-Color red paints were used to come as close a possible to the original red. (2 coats of the lighter red followed by 1 of the darker red then a clear gloss.) The match was close enough to satisfy me.

I'm just going to leave them painted but I did possibly find a suitable resin for a filler. It is called Crystal Clear. The 200 was suggested to me but I did not think that the heat defection was enough at 120 degrees. The 220 has a heat deflection of 176 degrees; however, in addition to possibly needing a vacuum pot to remove the air bubbles, it also required 4 hours of baking at 220 to fully cure.
Here is the Technical on it.
