Winter time model building thread.
WELL with my modeling years and experience, I have to say the tires, 1. ARE NOT "rubber". They are Vinyl...."Lacquer" paint normally "attacks" the vinyl and never truly dries....
The best I've found to "paint" white letters that I have done and tried many years ago, was Acrylic paint.
I have been told that a few things can be done to get real "Lacquer" to dry and thats to coat the tire in "Future" floor shine, its a floor polish that puts a good durable barrier between the vinyl tire, and the paint, This allows the Lacquer paint to dry....
The other way? Using "White" Gel pens....Sadly however these last 2 things I've read about and have been told, BUT have yet to trey either one! I have yet to find "Future" floor shine thats sold under the "Pledge" line of floor care products.....I'm working on trying both these ideas to see which one I like the best....
