SPA Modeler

Man thanks Bruce!

I ended up applying a coat of Tamiya Smoke to the wheels today which really brings them out more if you ask me. I intended to do this from the start but one thing lead to another and before I knew it the wheels & tires were on the vehicle. After I noticed it I was too chicken to attempt the coating but the more I looked at it the more I decided it had to be done to get rid of that toy chrome look.

Before: (notice the high glare from them here)



and after: (a more defined and realistic look and this picture has even been lightened)

That is pretty damn awesome, Joe

That is looking totally Awesome!

That coating of smoke was worth it - it looks much better!

That was absolutely the right thing to do, it also brings better contrast to the wheels!
