  • In this video I will restore a Hot Wheels Redline Custom Volkswagen for a subscriber. This car has the metal discoloration issues we have seen in the past so I painted this car with "metal" paint and then over sprayed with pink urethane.

  • @persistence_of_vision
    @persistence_of_vision Před 4 lety

    All your work is terrific and well done. I have bought some restored cars that used a painted undercoat like this and they can be appealing and pretty at first, but i find that over time I become unsatisfied with them because it just doesn't look like metal. Now I feel that I would rather see a car with some nicks and gouges in it than to see a painted base finish. To me it doesn't look like a spectraflame paint job any more, it just looks like it was sprayed with a metalflake paint. I like to be able to see the metal under the clear paint. I prefer your work with zinc and want to learn how to do that.

  • @oldman5487
    @oldman5487 Před 6 lety

    A long time ago, I used to paint bodies for slot cars. A trick that I used back then will undoubtedly come in handy for you. Mix Elmer's white glue with water until it's quite thin and then 'paint' it on with a tiny brush where you don't want the next layer of paint to stick. It comes off with more water when dry. You can get VERY intricate using this method. I even used to paint flames on the slot cars.

    These restoration videos are amazing. You are truley my favorite youtubers and a few days ago i got the deal of a life time. I got a green one of these in almost perfect condition. Only thing wrong was the wheels were bent. But since ive started watching your vids ive been making custom hot wheels like crazy and your videos have helped me alot on how to restore and make custom hot wheels. Thank you

    • @baremetalHW
      @baremetalHW  Před 7 lety +2

    Honestly I like the bare metal instead of metal paint. Even with discoloration. I need to buy a lot of beaters and try restoring. I've already started looking on eBay for some to try your methods on. Looks great and keep it up!! Can't wait to see which redline is next!!!

    i think you may have sanded most of the detail off. I would do the detail work on this one cause it would make it stand out more as the sanding took it away. Looks way too smooth now. A lot of the body details are gone.
