Hi !

Here is one of my project in process , yes I know it is a Tonkin !!

I put some grease on the ring of the mixer where the roller are rolling aroun , also put a nice mixer controler on the side the ladder , a nice hose with the nozzle , a couple of hydro hose for the motor
added a oil tank on the right side, still need to put two spare chute that I'm doing next .

Hi !

Randy , do you mean the wheels or the fenders ?
anyway the wheel was the third axle of the original truck .
the fenders are painted with aluminium paint from a spray can .

thank you for the comments .

towoc999,

I apologize, by question was not stated clearly, I was referring to the fender.

Could you provide the brand of paint you used?

Thanks !

Hi !

Randy , the paint is : maker = SICO ( canadian made don't know if you can get any )
super anti-rust (corrostop) super opaque exterior gloss aluminium #631-120.

many of my models are customised with this paint as far as 'alu' is concern
