Jantrix Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I'm finally gonna give these a try from the Revell '32 5-window. Anything I should know before trying this? I've got setting solution. I've only got one set and I really want these tires as white walls. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I would clear the sides with acrylic paint, or future, apply the decals, then clear over the decals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar maniac 74 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I would paint the white walls with white acrylic paint. It dries flat and if you don't like it it washes off with water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with this. Acrylic gloss clear so the decals don't silver around the edge then I hit them with Mr Super Clear matte spray to kill the glossyness. I left these glossy because I was going for the fresh armor all look but did do the clear undercoat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Metallic Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 @Chuck Kourouklis has had some really good luck with the new Revell whitewall decals and shared his experience in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 I was not successful with those decals. I'll be painting them after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave G. Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I just painted 1/32 1958 T bird white walls that had no really good demarcation on the sidewall,not for these old eyes anyway. I mounted the assembled wheels on a rudimentary mandrill and spun the tires slowly in a cordless drill. Then just touched the paint brush to the side wall. I'm used to wood turning, it's much easier to control circular designs onto a spinning object if they're just straight up dimensions like white walls. Coarse the tire can't wobble, at least not much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
