For this project, you will need the following : 

1.) Model car grilles and wheels
2.) Fine tipped and medium tipped paint brushes
3.) Acrylic paint such as Citadel / Games Workshop, or Tamiya - We are using Nuln Oil and Abaddon Black 
4.) A bowl with water for thinning the paint and cleaning your brush
5.) A plate to use as a paint mixing palate

The first part of this video shows you the steps to follow to use the Citadel Nuln Oil Shade Paint to darken the recesses of your grille. 

The second part of the video shows you how to apply the acrylic paint to the model car wheels and how to clean up your painting equipment.
