Unpainted complete wheel cover -Le Mans-

Add your personal touch with the Le Mans hubcap from Sloting Plus

The unpainted complete hubcap Le Mans (reference SP029902) from Sloting Plus is one of those small parts that, when well crafted, elevate the visual level of a slot car to another plane. Presented unpainted, it provides the perfect blank canvas to apply your own livery, whether with an airbrush, brush, or any of the industry-standard paints such as Vallejo, Kaleido, or Tamiya.

Function and performance

The hubcap serves a dual function in the world of slot and modelling applied to miniature cars: aesthetics and finishing. It covers the wheel hub, providing a more complete and realistic appearance, replicating the characteristic design of prototypes and GTs that compete or have competed in endurance circuits like Le Mans. As it has no factory paint, the final result entirely depends on your creative judgement.

Compatibility and assembly

This hubcap is designed by Sloting Plus, a manufacturer specialised in spare parts, preparation tools, and tuning for slot. To confirm the exact compatibility with your specific model or chassis, we recommend checking against the official reference SP029902 or consulting us directly: each build is different, and we want the fit to be perfect.

Preparation and painting

• Arriving unpainted, it accepts any finishing technique: airbrush, fine brush, or modelling markers.
• A primer coat is recommended before applying the final colour to improve adhesion and achieve a uniform finish.
• Acrylic paints such as those from Vallejo or Kaleido offer excellent results on pieces of this size due to their controlled viscosity.
• Once painted and lacquered, it can be integrated into the wheel assembly without interfering with the car's dynamic behaviour.

Ideal for…

This hubcap fits perfectly into the work of any enthusiast who enjoys both the track and car preparation. Whether you are a club competitor who pays attention to every visual detail of your machine or a modeller who combines slot with static models and dioramas, this piece gives you total leeway to express your style. It is also very useful for replacing damaged or lost hubcaps without sacrificing customization.
