I can't believe the difference in this Barracuda wheels with a drop of black paint.

How do you do that? looks good.Due to the recent budget cuts,
the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, plus the
current state of the economy, the light at the end
of the tunnel has been turned off. -
Super big difference. Doing a black wash does wonders for wheels. Chrome grills too. Putting that wash on the wheels also gives it more of a realistic "scale" appearance.
Awesome job!!!!!!Comment

I use a water based craft paint Daniel. It's easy to wipe off the excess.Originally posted by Daniel View Post
Take black paint and paint the whole wheel or grill. then carefully wipe off excess with soft cloth or paper towel.

Yes, it sure does. I did this older release JL Dodge and MB Chevy pickups and now they can compare with GL or AW...Originally posted by nachoman6 View Post

Interesting how you do it. Iused a system I learned 60 years ago building military models. I use enamel thinned with about 65% thinner or acrylic thinned with water. I flow the thinned paint into the recesses and wipe off the excess. There used to be a product of already thinned paint but it's no long available. Here's a car with the front wheel "black washed" and the rear wheel stock.

This is how I black-wash. Same technique. Sometimes I cheat with a Q-Tip and Kiwi Black shoe polish. You have plenty of time to wipe it off the highlights with a clean Q-Tip.Originally posted by Leroy Brown View PostComment

Sorry, DAN, it's the only one I have. I NEVER found the gray car except on Ebay at crazy prices. i found this one at H-L in Salsbury, MD when they were first released.Comment
