Thank you Ira.
I use a 00 brush for small things like wheel spokes, Erik. I don't think there's any brush strokes but they'd be too small for me to see anyway. Mixing aluminum or flat steel with black chrome gives a pretty nice satin finish to the spokes.
Thanks Eric.
The Pegasus wheel comes chrome plated. I mixed some Testors aluminum and black chrome together to the shade I wanted and then hand painted the spokes.
Florida isn't that bad. We had 1/2" of rain yesterday and today 1 of my gardenia plants started to bloom. Very pretty. When it gets too humid, we just jump in the pool.
