1967 250 SL - hub cap paint stencil

Another "For the record".
I do not have the stencils but I have learned that they were in any case after-market silicone ones whereas I thought they were the original Mercedes tools.
In the light of this and the fact that I have not received them I should no longer be considered custodian of these tools.
If an when I manage to find an original MB set again I will make them available for hire to group members.

I still have the stencil but should be done within a month. When I painted mine in November the new paint highlighted how the chrome needed refinishing. I looked at numerous options starting with polishing seeing the sticker shock of what new hub caps run. After a lot of research I just ordered new chrome caps from Classic center supposedly on a January sale for a little over $1,300. That wasn't in my budget. Anyways I shoudl be doen with the stencil as soon as we get a 40 degree day to paint. I am PM'ing the next in line to see if they still need the stencil.

Hi Garry,
How do I get access to the stencils for my 230SL? I regularly visit Sydney.
Cheers

Paul,


The last time i think it was used was by a member in Sydney, Philip, known on forum as PIP1947. I have not seen a request since.


I have sent him an email asking where it went to from him.  When i hear i will let you know.

Just buy the plastic one. Not expensive and works great.
