Talking Something so little but makes a big difference

I know this is not a new mod but I can't resist posting some pics

I decided to paint the wheels black on my MS Sport. There aren't any "real" hobby shops around here so I took a trip to a gaming shop where they sell those little figerines that you paint for gaming, and picked up some paints.

My motto is paint first, think later. So I painted them by hand including the fronts knowing the fronts might get some paint in the spindle. Unfortunately I ended up spending more time trying to get them to freewheel again than I spent painting them. In the end I decided to spin them with a dremel to "break" them in, which worked for one wheel but not the other. So then I had to pull the pin out and clean it out the hard way

But even after all this I am glad I did it, and am very happy with how they look

Sorry for the long post, but for me, mods are like an adventure
