Painting tracks

I use the second method of painting and weathering the tracks off of the vehicle. Then I install them and give a final weathering of pastel chalks then.

anything that will not show a seam can be painted seperately. That includes tools and stowage, as well as tracks.

It's really hard to tell when you should keep it as a sub-assembly or not. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes you just need to picture yourself painting it when you are finished, and if you think to yourself "Well, that will be a pain" it may be a good candidate for sub-assembly

I piant the Tracks then put them on because its a pain in the ****** to not screw up the wheels.

Thanks alot for your answers. I thought that doing them off the vehicle would be best but thought I'd better ask to be sure.

hello,if they are plastic one piece tracks and you paint them before you put them on if you have to streach them will that damage paint job?and if that is the case do you just touch up after they are on ? thank you and take care everyone
