I'm thinking chemical gun blue, might be worth a try....... :thumbup: David D --- End quote --- Thanks for all the feed back, Would iodizing not just change the colour and highlight that it is made from aluminum. The effect I am really looking for is to have them looking like steel as would be used on a real steam tractor. Would chemical bluing do this? Cheers Mick --- End quote --- Seems not, Mick! According to them as knows......... :( I have only ever used it, to touch up, steel gun components. David D |

Mick, I totally missed the part about the wheels going on a model engine (not on a car). :doh: Sand blast them and paint them the color of your choice. Don't know if you can get it there, but Eastwood sells a paint called Brake Gray for brake cylinders that has powdered metal in it and looks a lot like steel. Tom |
