I actually just brush on future clear to the tread area and then dab on cigarette ashes while it still wet, I repeat this process a few times until I get an even look then seal it all in by airbrushing on a flat coat of lacquer
I was having a hard time sanding these salvinos tires so I had to do it a different way lol |

Looking good! Nice tip for tire scuffing. I'll have to save some cigar ashes.

I wonder if pipe ashes would work? Like @Henryjent, I enjoy a good cigar too!

| Those coil overs, gauges and seat look real, did you massage them or is that direct from the kit? +1 on the excellent scuff on the tires too. I like the position locator tape on the steering wheel, great detail! |

This build is really looking good! Great tips on the tires. A person can also sand down an old Nascar tire and use the sanded material the same way. Good stuff, James.
