I used the brake fluid to take off the pattern but the arms went brittle and snaped. So decided to paint it in Ford Frozen White & gloss black. The black ones not painted, only hands & visor.

You need to dremel the chrome rims flat, then dremel down the edge of the bbs wheels

You dont dremel the rims right down, just enough to fit tightly into the outer rim
