Team Green tyres

[Deleted]

Sorry guys, this is probably a dumb question, but i have not done a conversion before...
got 1:18 UT model Indy Reynard Paul Tracy that i thinking about converting. However the tyres on the Team Green Car are a gold colour. Is there a way to make them silver??? is there a paint i can use or do i need to take them off and replace them.

Thanks

You mean the wheels are gold. Pop them out of the tires & spray them silver. Dust a couple coats on first then a heavy coat. If you spray a heavy coat first it will probably fish eye & not cover properly. Stick the wheels on some wood dowels then you can hold them while painting. Here's how I do mine when I use Alclad chrome.
