Thanks Paul,.. The kit is an AMT/Ertl 1999 release...except for the engine.... The Pegasus wheels got a Testors Dullcoat to start,.then a couple of washes of Tamiya flat black / Future mix,.. Then some Mineral spirits on a Q-Tip to remove some wash from the high spots,.. Then another Dullcoat treatment,.. The rims stayed a little shinier, no wash there,.. which is what I wanted. Thanks for checking in. Cheers
