| So for those attempting to spray their logos, how long should one wait after spraying before wiping? |

full cure depending on what your spray can says.
Acetone will take it off regardless of how old it is. It will remove any non-catalyzed paint |

| Does anyone have any close-up photos of original painted logos? I was curious about whether the paint should lay in the bottom part of the logo only, or if it should run up the sides of the letters to the top of the hub cap. |

| I would PM Lind. Athough he is more of a bus guy, he's the one person I can think of that really is into detailed hubcap logo's, correct colors, etc |

Here you go guys. Ignore the red spots as it's nail polish or paint drops and they come right off. Oh yeah, it's not a red center with black paint over it....keep dreaming!!

I looked at a bunch of my originals and NOS ones and they vary but all of them go up the tiny edge of the outside of the circle.
For the center letter cutouts, none of them really go up the slanted edges of the letters. Some are sort of sloppy though and have some a little paint edging up those edges.
Here's a Bus grey one with original white center:

| I guess I should have taken pics of my painted ones too but I had a nice shiny Chrome one sitting next to me!! A lot harder to take a picture of though and it shows all the imperfections.... |

Nah, your photo clearly shows the black paint going up the outer edge of the circle part of the logo just like Everett noted. |
