I`ve gone with the Humbrol spray paints now, the red came out too glossy at first so I put a light spray of black over the top
to weather it.
Worrying though, when I put the jeep back together I`ve about 5 screws left over and no idea where they come from.
Toying with the idea of painting the hubcaps red too, or maybe an Exterminator wheel transplant.
