Those are really looking good T-Real 👍
While I never showed it here (save for one item in 2016), I have my own childhood Bob the Builder collection that consists mainly of the friction vehicles by Born to Play. That Roley already had grey rollers, but I repainted mine metallic grey to better resemble the ones on the stop motion model (without taking them off). Even though I used acrylic paint (mixing silver with black IIRC), none of it ever rubbed off to this day.
