Getting ready to do some painting on my AL King of the Mississippi. There is no paint listed in the instructions other than gloss black enamel for the chimneys and that's fine. But the paddle wheel metal has three rings on each wheel and the photo (if you will) of the paddle wheel spokes on the kit box, shows the spokes painted with a wood looking paint. Is there such a paint or is it just photoshopped in? I'd like to paint the spokes a wood color.

Thanks all.
 
Rob,
Thanks for the video references. After watching them, I think its something I can handle.
