How Do You Paint a RC Car Tire?

Painting the tires on your remote controlled car can take your vehicle from ordinary to extraordinary. It is a fairly easy process and can be accomplished with some basic supplies.

Step One: First, you will need to remove the wheel and tire from the car. Most RC cars have screws securing the wheel and tire to the vehicle, so simply unscrew them and pull off the wheel and tire.

Step Two: Next, use some rubbing alcohol to clean off any dirt or grime from the surface of the tire. Make sure it is completely clean before you begin painting.

Step Three: You will then need to get a paint that is specifically designed for rubber. This type of paint adheres better than regular paints, so it won’t chip or flake off easily. You can find this type of paint in most craft stores or online.

Step Four: Once you’ve got your paint, use a small brush to apply it evenly over the entire surface of the tire. Start with light coats of paint, adding more as necessary until you get an even coverage over the entire surface. Allow each coat of paint to dry completely before applying another coat.

Step Five: Once all coats are dry, use a clear sealant spray over the entire surface of the tire for extra protection and shine. This will help keep your paint job looking great for longer periods of time.

Conclusion: With these five simple steps, you can easily give your RC car an awesome new look by painting its tires! Just make sure you have all the necessary supplies and take your time when applying each coat of paint for best results.
