I'm not sure a template exists. If it does I have not seen or heard of it. If you want to repaint the red circle use thin electrical tape on a warm day. It's much easier to turn corners with than paper based masking tape.

I took all the dead paint off of my hubcaps and had zero luck trying to mask the black parts off around the outside. Not happy with my painting results I went and drew up a cad file of everything and then had black and red decals cut from sign vinyl on a plotter.

Sorry to drag this back up but Im doing/did the same thing. To me painting the red circle shouldnt be too hard with a bit of masking but how about the black in the finned areas as well as inside the Fratzog in the center?

Love to see how your decals turned out as well

Here you go.

This cap, along with the other three, have paint for the red circle, but I do have a spare hubcap with red vinyl instead of paint. It's all cut from exterior grade sign vinyl so it should last a long time.

Mine have super small scratches/light haziness in them to, but the indoor lighting hides it. Stainless steel, even when buffed to the max, will never look like chrome plating. Out in the sunlight they still look super nice.

I wet sanded mine down with 1000, 1500, 2000 grit etc. paper and then put them on a spare wheel and buffed the face with a car buffer and some mothers mag polish. I then took them off and set the buffer down on the ground with a zip tie on the trigger to keep it running and then buffed out the edges by holding the side of the caps against the buffer pad and slowly rotating them at the same time. The stainless can get super hot after long periods of buffing so wear gloves or let them cool off every so often so your hands don't get blistered.

I did go over them later on with some stainless rouge and a cotton buffer wheel out of curiosity, but it didn't seem to make them any shinier than the mag polish did.

I still have the cad file so if you have access to a sign shop that can cut the vinyl out and want to try the decal method let me know.
