I restore a lot of hubcaps and even make/cut & roll 3/4T front 4x4 caps. I keep getting requests for "blue" bowtie caps, not the yellow.
It is only blue paint...anyone can paint the bowties blue.
Here is an NOS blue, an NOS yellow, and the yellow "painted blue"...and pics of how to do it. Hope this helps.
