- Weathering with a bit of chalk or ink to simulate dirt and brake dust
Thanks for the suggestions.
I've done all of those in the past. I'm not inclined to do so for these tires. While I really like this project, I got tons of others that pique my interest that I'd like to get on to sooner rather than later....
