I am wondering do tumbler owners elevate there tumbler when displaying. Put some cd cases underneath or something I do.
the covers look really good Pirate. I was worried to paint because of brush strokes,

I do. I made custom stands so the wheels barely off the surface of my acrylic case...didn't want the weight of this beast to bow out the front fenders.

Thanks for replys. I support mine but I think putting foam underneath and cd cases might be the soultion. I and thinking if the car is on cases then the wheels could drop over time with no axel there thanks for tips.

Didn't think about the Tumbler's weight possibly bowing something over the time by now, so thanks for mentioning it.
I only have the foam and foil under the wheels, not sure now how I'll finally display it.

Yes its a great solution. Thank you for working it out.:) I am going to put cd cases under the main chassis. then something else under the front wheels as there is no axel there and I think they are quite heavy.And thinking about long term gravity. DX11 coming next couple of weeks nice. I clean it once a week even though it is in a cases just using water and cloth any tips for a nice shine:)

Quick tutorial:

Make sure the silver surface is free of dust and turn the wheel with one pair of bolds up:

brveman01.jpg




Take the decal off the white foil and only attach it around the upper bolds for the beginning.
Take a look at the decals upper edge (outer diamater) and see if it's in one line with the end of the silver surface:

brveman02.jpg




Slowly attach more of the decal on one side only (I chose clockwise direction)
and always have an eye on the decal's position when you reach the next pair of bolds.

You can go back at least one step at this point to make small corrections but please do this slowly and carefully
as the foil is meant to be flexible to reach the best result and it could get damage if pulled to hard:

brveman03.jpg




This is the last step where changes are possible, even though I wouldn't recommend it from here on.
Once you attached it completely, you'll be able to remove it but the foil would be destroyed by overexpansion:

And here you go, finally nice black rims :yess::

If there are questions don't hesitate to aks me here. :hi5:
