Weathering wheels

Unread post by mustangjoe448 »

So I found a way make your wheels look just like the real thing just thought this may help some fellow modlers out unless some one else has figured it out already.this is how I do it first off I take a testors enamel paint marker brown paint the wheels be carefull not to use to much do one wheel at a time u want the paint wet for next step or it wont look right when you dull coat them as soon as u paint the wheel take color muddy red chalk and dust the wheel heavy then blow off all extra chalk then I dust it again with rusty brown blow off extra then dull coat I use doc obriens chalks but u can mess around and see what looks best I will post a pic if I can trust me If u do it right it looks awEsome please give it a try and let me know what u think post pics Thanks
