It's the translucency of the yellow plastic that makes it look like an Easter egg.  A coat of opaque paint should improve things significantly.

 

But yes, the painted wheels look great.

 

I'm open to suggestions for paint on the bus.  I would like for the base color to remain visible, but am planning to add some dark green to the sides for a two-tone paint scheme.  Where I'm stumped is what color to paint the interior—that ought to cut down on the translucency.  I'm guessing this is supposed to be a 1950's-era bus.  I'm thinking of painting the interior a light brown, but don't know if that would be correct.
