What kind of paint did you use? Is it adhering to the plastic cover well? It looks great but details of what you used, how you preped it, etc. would be helpful.

Thnx.
I used Rustoleum Sail Blue for the FJ, and Rustoleum Desert Bisque for the tread marks. The Reflective Cover was from Duplicolor's NightLites. I just masked off the parts with painters tape and exacto knife. I masked the FJ first, giving it two codes of blue and one light code of reflective. Then did the same for the tread marks.

That looks sweet. I think I'd like to try that on the BC bomber... hope you don't mind the imitation.

Re: Tire Cover Mod

Thanks Terahex for the the idea.

I painted my mine too. I used a paint promoter, white and flat black and Dupli-color clear coat.

Re: Tire Cover Mod

how are these painted covers holding up? Is there any chipping or peeling or anything. I would really like to do mine (white) as well.
