Those are
new Bow Tie tires on the truck. The wheels were chrome but they were pretty beat.
I removed the chrome (sprayed them with clear lacquer and when it got cloudy I
rubbed over it with acetone and it took the chrome plating off). I then got some
Rit liquid Jet Black dye and put it in a pot with about 1 & 1/2 gallons of
water and the 4 nylon wheels. I boiled them for 2 hours. They came out great.
I'll put a link here to show a close up. |
