SuperStockAndy Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I've used real burnout rubber, peeled it off my uncle's car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry4ns302 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hah, thats pretty good, got any pics? That's an expensive method, unless the rubber is there anyway. I'm just about done with a thunderbird street car and it came out pretty well so I figured I'd push the envelope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a/gass Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 i make my R/C car do a burn out on 120 grit sand paper -spray clear at angle from inside wheelopening and sprinkle the rubber dust on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStockAndy Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Sorry, I sold the build to someone a long time ago and I have no pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Dave Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I've experimented with acrylic craft paints applied(read 'splattered') with an old toothbrush, and had decent results...although I have yet to use it on a whole model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The new/current Revell '78 Trans Am decal sheet comes with rubber spray decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I've burned rubber with Dremel. So install spare tire on Dremel and with low speed do "burnout". I've done it on the top of one metal box, needs to say that if I raise the rpm on Dremel, tire starts smoking and then there's lots of rubber compound everywhere. So low speed is better idea.

I like this idea! How do you stick the rubbber to the quarter afer you collect it? Or do you do the burnout in the wheel-well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stick that rubber when I have wet clear coat on the body. Or if I'm not going to clear that body, then I stick it on its place when I have just painted some wet paint. Those decals are nice, but I think, rear rubber looks more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Black gesso would probably do the trick, or a bit of matt black paint flicked on their with a toothbrush, or you can stipple it with the airbrush, if you are comfortable with doing it that way.
