For this project, you will need the following :
1.) Model car rubber tires
2.) A 7/16th" socket driver socket
3.) 180 grade fine sandpaper preferably with a sticky backing
4.) A block of MDF
5.) An electric drill
6.) Acrylic paint such as Citadel / Games Workshop, or Tamiya
7.) Various fine and medium paint brushes
8.) A bowl with water for thinning the paint and cleaning your brush
9.) A plate to use as a paint mixing palate
10.) A pair of safety goggles
11.) Rubbing alcohol
12.) Paper towel or a rag
13.) Scissors
14.) Hobby knife
15.) Side cutters
Always wear your safety goggles when you operate drills and other electrical equipment. If you are a child, always ask for parental supervision before beginning a project like this. Electric drills operate at high revolutions per minute and can become dangerous to operate and control for younger users. Also, the rubbing alcohol contains fumes which could be toxic and rubbing alcohol is a poisonous chemical. Proper handling is needed.
The first part of this video shows you the steps to follow to set up your electric drill, socket driver, sandpaper block, and tire as well as the steps used to activate the drill and sand the tires.
The second part of the video shows you how to apply the acrylic paint to the model car tire and how to clean up your painting equipment. This step teaches you how to paint white wall tires, white letter tires and other colors you can apply to your tires with some historical pictures of real world tires from the past.
