Title: mag - tyre - info !
Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on October 21, 2012, 06:09 PM: Half in the wrong section but needed some info as well as another one tyre !

Got a couple of lester mags style 9 which will be painted red

1. what is the best way to have the siver/metal line still showing - tape it off before paint - of scrape off the paint after ?
2. the tyres, what year are the INNOVA's from ?
3. does any one have a second innova tyre around please :'(
