Tires/Road wheels

I use the circle template method..

Get a circle template from a craft store.. you can get em with about 20 or 30 different size circles on them..

I airbrush the black on the tires/roadwheels first..

after that dries. find the circle on the template that matchs the hub size.. mask off the other ones around it.. hold over the hub and airbrush straight through the circle to spay the hub color..

works great..

I find that a method mentioned in an earlier article or tip section of FSM works for me. I use a SHARPIE black marker to colour the road wheel rubber and then dry-brush the rubber with a slight gray or tan. It is easy to do and I can mount all the roadwheels and paint the base colour without worrying about getting it on the "rubber" sections.

That sound like a good idea, is there anything sharpies cant do?

They can't seem to get this black mark off the wall!!! No matter how hard I scrub with the tip of the Sharpie the spot just gets bigger. It's very frustrating

Silly Gregory, you're using the wrong sharpie. Try a silver one, it gets rid of black spots easily. Of course it leaves a silver one, but that's life.

i prefer the circle template-the smell of a sharpie makes me sick.
