Unbeknownst to me, apparently because I wasn't paying attention, these models are factory painted. The models themselves are fine, with no flash or anything like that. The vehicles are well painted. All I did was add a little more rust to one of them. Unfortunately all the other accessories were not up to my standards and I repainted all of them. In my opinion there was far too much bright metal for junk, so I aged and weathered all of them. Particularly egregious was the presence of silver paint on all the tires (the rubber part). But, easily repainted.
