Hi Guys,
What colour paint do you use for your tyres on vehicles?
I have a K2/Y Ambulance I've just started and was planning on using Tamiya NATO black but I'm open to suggestions.
Cheers!
Tyre Colour?

Re: Tyre Colour?
I use Mission Model Old Tire Black and can't remember the other tire color. NATO Black can work but I'd mix in a little white to tone it down. Maybe German Grey with a touch of black ....

Re: Tyre Colour?
Some good suggestions - thanks Gents, I'll see what I have in the stash.
Interesting actually that you spell it with an 'i' - I didn't know that - I assume tire as in 'getting sleepy' is the same spelling?
Lol! Well if your ancestors had bothered to pack a dictionary on the Mayflower you'd all know how to spell too!

Re: Tyre Colour?
Yes, the spelling is the same. Context matters.

Re: Tyre Colour?
Tamiya makes a rubber black that is a good option aside from all the others previously mentioned.
