I went to a hobby shop and got Testors red paint in the little glass jars, and an assortment of small brushes. I too my time and did them by hand.

I wanted to spray them, but I couldn't come up with a good way to mask them within my limited abilities.

They look good from 3-4 feet away. Get them in front of your face and you can see minor errors and the brush lines. I figure if anybody gets that close I'll kick them in the ass for trying to steel my hubcaps...LOL.

I'm still looking for a set of 8" wide steelies that accept the dog dishes. That's what I really want but haven't been able to find a set for decent money.
