ive painted two different sets. one with a brush and roller and one with rattle cans topped of with wheel clear. both came out nice and are holding up better than i thought they would. do not use white masking tape to tape the tires off with. i did on two wheels to use up the cheap tape. when i removed the tape the tires were white from the glue on the tape. i had to remove it with lacquer thinner which took a while. with the brush and mini roller on the second coat you can put it on a little heavy to build it up and it's not as messy as it is with the rattle can.
