Tyre paint Help.

Post by Tonygol »

I have a few trucks that I will be building over the year from Italeri, Revell and Miniart. All the paint instructions says to paint the road tyres "Black". What is the best "Black" to use for the tyres?

I like the Vallejo black grey.
If it looks right, it is right.
