DiecastFANatic Project 166 Part 4 (Weathering the tires)

[jchevymannz]

can you please tell me where you got the weathering powders and if there is a website can you please tell me what it is because I am doing a weathered 427 Cobra and I want to know where I can get them

[DiecastFANatic]

@jchevymannz  I use the Doc O'Brien's weathering powders from Micro-Mark. The link is in the video description as well. Let me know how it turns out.

this looks really good friend. do you have to apply any kind of sealer on the weathering?

[DiecastFANatic]

I forgot to mention that!!! Yes you can use a flat clear to cover the powders with. BUT, it does dull down the colors of the powders, so apply them a little thicker. If it's not going to be handled at all then you don't need to use the clear. It only comes off when touched too much.

Thanks for reminding me.

you're right about your suggestion for how to take off the wheels, but if i want to take off the wheels on a Kyosho or an AUTOart i can follow the same suggestion?

[DiecastFANatic]

I would have to say yes. I haven't had the chance to have a Kyosho or an AA to look at, but I know Bburago, Solido and HWs all come apart with phillips screws in the bottom and then you can see how to get the suspension apart. HWs has the shaft on the rear. Bburago has the pop off spinners on theirs. Just go slow taking it apart until you can see what needs to be done. Some companies even glue things when they assemble them and forcing it apart can break plastics. Hope this helps.

finally a new interesting video, awesome to see the transformation of the tires and rims in very older wheels
