Norev restoration of Renault Alpina A 220 Le Mans No. 808. Production of road and rally lights.

The Renault Alpine A 220 is a cult car model that took part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race twice between 1968 and 1969. The French company Norev started producing this model in 1970 and continued until 1975. To display subtitles in your language at the bottom of the film, please press C on the computer or the three dots on the mobile phone in the film. My model did not have headlights. I thought it also lacked the rear window above the engine. It turned out, however, that the manufacturer in this model did not make this windshield and the engine hatch is not covered. I made the missing lights in two types: clear epoxy resin for high beam and the other polyurethane resin painted blue for covered rally lights. The model was packed in different packages. I chose and made a custom box completely covered with transparent polypropylene foil. Thank you for watching the movie, I publish videos with the repair of cars on CZcams on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Po raz kolejny arcydzieło. Nie jestem zbytnio zaznajomiony z Norevem. (Tam, gdzie mieszkałem jako dziecko, nie były one sprzedawane).
Świetna robota Paul, jestem zachwycony. Pomysł z wymiennymi reflektorami jest genialny i zawsze jestem pod wrażeniem, jak dokładnie odtwarzasz oryginalne opakowanie. Zdecydowane kciuki w górę ode mnie 👍🏼.
Dzięki za podzielenie się z nami moim przyjacielem. Życzę miłego tygodnia i pozostańcie bezpieczni i zdrowi. Trzymaj się dobrej roboty 😎👍🏼
Pozdrowienia z Morza Północnego, Paul

Once again a masterpiece. I'm not really that familiar with Norev. (Where I lived as a child they were not sold).
Great work Paul, I'm thrilled. The idea with the interchangeable headlights is ingenious and I'm always impressed how exactly you recreate the original packaging. Definitely a thumbs up from me 👍🏼.
Thanks for sharing mate. Have a great week to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work 😎👍🏼
Greetings from the North Sea, Paul

Wiedermal ein Meisterwerk. Norev ist mir eigentlich nicht so bekannt. (Wo ich als Kind wohnte wurden sie nicht verkauft.)
Tolle Arbeit Paul, ich bin begeistert. Die Idee mit den auswechselbaren Scheinwerfern ist genial und ich bin immer wieder beeindruckt wie exakt du die Originalverpackung neufertigst. Von mir ganz klar ein Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼.
Vielen Dank fürs teilen mein Freund. Dir und deiner Familie noch eine schöne Woche und bleibt gesund und munter. Mach weiter so 😎👍🏼

5:00 - 5:40 How long did you have to let set before you made a negative mold?

[@PaulRestorer]

I waited 72 hours after painting. The form itself dried in 10 minutes.

[@poxyclypse]

Amazing work!
Love, love, love the model.
I wanted to gripe about your decal work, but then you blew me away with that, too.
What is the point of that delicious chrome coat behind the lamps?
And why did you not chrome the hubs with the tyres off?
Still, a brilliant restore.
My questions notwithstanding, you do incredible restoration work, and I have nothing comparable, so I have nothing to criticize.
Well done, and, thank you.
More, please.
Also, is that Molotow chrome toxic, like if one wanted to paint their fingernails with it?
Asking for a friend.

[@PaulRestorer]

thank you very much when it chrome-plated under the lamps, the resin in which there are tiny air bubbles looks better. Chrome dries for a very long time, so on wheels I do it at the very end

[@gerpape8722]

@2:21 Your caption notes to be careful when adding baking soda, but that's not baking soda, is it? Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, and it's not caustic at all. Did you mean sodium hydroxide instead?
@3:28 What kinds of paints do you prefer to use, eg, enamels, acrylics, lacquers? Do you use any particular brand?
@21:37 I like to use an old paintbrush to maneuver a decal on a surface, to avoid tearing or otherwise damaging the film.
@24:16 Your headlights turned out nicely!
Nice finish, great project!

[@PaulRestorer]

thank you very much. I'm not a chemist, but I use caustic soda. When it comes to paints, I prefer car acrylic paints and I always apply a clear varnish with a hardener I also use epoxy primer because it is anti-corrosive

[@jamesnickerson717]

Hello Paul, great work on your restoration videos. I am just starting to do this myself but have many questions. One question is what is the white stuff you sprinkle into the container with the water to eat away the paint? Thank you Dziękuję Ci

this white powder, i.e. caustic soda, is poured into boiling water, it is also used to clean sewage pipes

the headlights must be aligned on the unpainted body, so that they would continue its shape, then they would not look like bubbles.
