How can I do tire lettering for slick tires that are slick on the sidewalls? the tires are for a 1:24 scale nissan skyline and I want to put a nice clean brand name on them, such as sava or yokohama, and I also wanted to have additional writing, like L 17 like when the pit crew labels tires with a marker. thanks!!

I also wanted to ask, is it hard to detail a 1:24 scale car ....and do I have to paint the body because If I paint is with white paint, it looks like ###### without an airbrush, and the bodies plastic is already glossy white. and can you put decals on a bare plastic body? thanks!!!

So if I'm going to use a paintbrush to paint the parts, do it on the tree? Thanks man, I'm REALLY going to enjoy the hobby!

I just bought a castrol skyline 1:24 gt-r Gr.a made by tamiya, and I opened up the box. WHAT DO I DO FIRST? and list if possible, the steps after that like pre-fitting. I got paint, xacto blade, sandpaper, etc Thanks a lot!!!!!
