Here is the progress so far. I'm using the Auto World car so it matches closely with my '05-'11 Hot Wheels that I've been using. Thanks, Mike   |

If your working on a the 2014 winner, here's something to help with the wheels. Looking at Michael's photos, you notice the front wheel (and probably the rear) are black anodized. My daughter was doing a project for school tonight when I noticed the color from the Sharpie she was using...  Hope you don't mind the use of the photo Mike.  Tested on a flat black Auto World wheel.   No clear or anything. The sheen is perfect straight from the marker. |

Quick note. The wheel is colored with the Office Depot marker. The Sharpie is very similar but a bit darker. I will be using the Sharpie on mine.
Thanks,
Mike

Excellent info to know. I was trying to get clear pics of these in Hinch's pits at Sonoma but the angle was tough. It appeared that they were random. I think I saw one set of fronts and rears, but mingled together.

I think I saw one set of fronts and rears, but mingled together. Here is a link for some more info on RHR's rims and a good pic of the front rim color. I still am looking to do the rim in 3D but there is a delay in getting measurements, nothing that will shelf the project - just delay it. mb2501.proboards.com/thread/6256/14pt-bbs-rimsJordan |

What I did for the Andretti rims on a shelved project was spray the rim with either Gunmetal or Metallic Black from Tamiya, then used an Anodized Purple spray from Autozone. The Purple is a transparent color that when placed over the darker metallic, looked pretty close.

Amazing job! I have one of the Will Power cars, but never got around to doing anything with it. Turned out great. If anyone needs a donor, I know where you can buy one  |

Finally done with it. If you do this one using the Auto World cars, order 2 set of decals.
