Lyle Willits Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Sand off most of the tread. Scuff up the side walls a bit. Use various shades of water based acrylic paints to "dirty" them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I've always had good luck with Doc O'Brien's weathering powders- just dust 'em on and seal it with a dull coat. Takes a little bit of practice, but it's easy once you find your groove. Some rust on the wheels and a light blackwash on everything should do the rest!
