Rather that the paint/needle tech, you can also use “Sharpie” (ultra-fine tipped permanent markers) to fix door, trunk, hood, vents, grill, tail pan, etc. Anywhere there is a recessed line/area. The same places that you just use the paint. It is not “permanent” like paint, but because of the recessed nature of the seams/areas they are used on, it will not wipe away as it will if you were to use it in the roof or hood flat areas. Just mark the seam/recessed area, let it dry, and then come back with a soft cloth and wipe away and over color (like i said it will take away the accessible marks/areas but not the recessed marks/areas. Works well for display cars, but can wear out with play.
Wouldn't it make life easier if they came screwed to begin with lol. Im thinking of Having a go and doing wheels swaps probably as far as i would fare go 🤣
@@RustBeltDiecastRacing Sweet! Thanks man I appreciate the quick response! I got my first rotary tool yesterday and I've been struggling like hell, your video absolutely helped!
@RustBeltDiecastRacing Awesome!! I customize action figures and sometimes I modify 1/12 and/or 1/10 scale military vehicles and I would like to try (Just this one time) Micro Machines without wasting a lot of money experimenting... My goal is to make a military jeep with a gun/turret, and big wheels. My mini version of a jeep from an 80s Arcade Game called SilkWorm! Thanks!!!
Why not hit the car with a lighter/matches and take some paint off for real. Let rust naturally. That’s what I might do. Have you tried that before? Thanks.
I have two Hot Wheels cars, one a used 1967 Chevelle Hot Wheels car and the other is a used 1968 Barracuda fastback Hot Wheels car, each of which have straight bodies, still-intact interiors, still-intact windows and straight chassis, the Chevelle's somewhat-weathered-chassis is plastic and the Barracuda's somewhat-weathered-chassis is metal, their bodies need new paint, their windows need to be cleaned up as do their chassis and their wheels do need to be switched out, albeit my hands are not fully capacitated due to various health issues from over the years and so, here's my question: Would you know of anyone out there who does clientele repair work on any such Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars? If yes, please, let me know, I really would appreciate it, thanks.
Is there a way to put the car back together that doesn't involve screws? First time doing this and want to see if its something i like before buying a bunch of stuff. Would superglue work?
Great eye, truly. I found liquid masking over a light rust or a mix of rust shades saves a bunch of time. I just tried the "Rust all" kit with aging solution. It's incredible but God is it a long process. The rust is thinner than the thinnest reduced candy that you cab can imagine. The reward however is amazing. It lays flat and you just keep brushing. While it's drying I use that rust with charcoal and silver and do some streaking. The rusts dry very bright. You then black wash with a sponge or brush.
