Today I worked on a crusty old 1:18 Scale Hot Wheels Corvette. This was living in a box in the basement that a cat must have peed on a bunch. It was nasty but a pretty solid restoration.

I kind of liked it the way it was. All the dirt and stuff gave it character. It told a story.

@pedrodelacabra1855 5 лет назад

OMG! Epic restoration! Looks like a '69. I had a 1980 1:1 version of that about 25 years ago. Same color no T-Tops. An awesome piece of Americana. You Adam Savaged it bitchenly and it looked like a super fun restoration. Awesome prep work. Every step looked so awesome Absolutely fantastic candy paint job. That clear coat was just gorgeous. Can't wait for part 2.

@solitairesmith3553 5 лет назад

I got sooo EXCITED when you started talking candy paints:) LOVE IT the blood red is GORGEOUS!!!!

@darkkiss7247 5 лет назад

Happy to see you working on a larger piece. The candy red looks amazing. Can't wait to see the finished product.

I wish more people would do more 1:18 scale models. The small ones are cute but I love 1:18 scale so this will hopefully be epic.

@louisvictor3473 5 лет назад

For the plastic rivets like in the bumpers , you can use a soldering iron to soften them with the heat, then you just push them out while the plastic is still pliable. The advantage is that you keep most of the plastic, so when you put it back in you just use the iron on the studs to soften them again and re-make the rivet. Pretty fast, pretty clean.

@Yaruzaru 5 лет назад

Very very nice. Loved the way those dark corroded bits just magically disappeared with the flap wheel. Colour was cool too.

@rampageeliminator6153 5 лет назад

Wow! Fantastic work! I’ve always wanted to see someone work on 1:18 scale cars and now my wish has been granted! 👌👍

Awesome color pick for thin 1969 Corvette Stingray !!!!!!!!!!!

@lt7automotive931 5 лет назад

The paint is coming out beautifully. Just so you know, that scoop is pretty well set up to mimic actual function. It is designed to draw air from the high pressure area at the base of the windshield.

@paulwoodman5131 5 лет назад

Fun to watch the clear coat transform the matte red to shiny deep candy across the hood and fenders. Don't see that as dramatically on the smaller scale. Can't wait to see what you do with the crusty chrome.

@shmaymondshmoos5180 5 лет назад

i recently built a 1/25th 1970 corvette model and painted it in testors color shift galaxy blue, which is pearlescent that shines from a nice blue all the way down to a deep, beautiful purple. I recommend it to anyone who wants a easy iridescent paint that comes in a can! Loved the video by the way and am looking forward to part two

@josephdeffendoll3056 5 лет назад

This edition is called the Mako Shark edition. The red is awesome. Very nice preparation before painting. It's always 95% preparation and 5% paint. It's big enough you could cut and buff the body.

@rogerbradley7509 5 лет назад

Did not know Hotwheels made cars in that size! Awesome!

@dashrendar99 5 лет назад

@mr.sideburns2031 5 лет назад

It is cool to see a bigger piece to work on, although this one has a ton of parts. Paints looks awesome on this scale, looking forward to the finish product.

@ronsindric4241 5 лет назад

My first visit. Like what I see. There are air erasers which are essentially air brushes that use VERY fine mesh abrasives for paint removal and detail polishing. Have you ever used one of these. When you "wash" that 'vette, how would an ultrasonic cleaning bath work ? To fill voids and corrosion cavities, have you ever tried putting down a thin film of Superglue then dusting the glue with some baking soda ?

@Twin_Flyer 5 лет назад

OMG such a great color, especially for a Corvette!! Looking for the 2nd part.

@Floridaredwing25 5 лет назад

Corrosion spots: 600 grit then Green Stuff dent and scratch filler from AutoZone. Them apply a "Filler primer" and you get a nice finish without distortion to the metal flats.

@rglover82201 5 лет назад

Omg, have you ever seen the movie with Mark Hamil called Corvette Summer?. You should modify that stingray to look like the one in Corvette Summer. That would be epic. And that car is perfect for it. And I know you have ed the talent to pull it off.

@pedrodelacabra1855 5 лет назад

I saw that flik in the theater when it was new. The Vette was epic, but maybe a bit too 70s. I liked Annie Potts' van better!

@afcnutts 5 лет назад

For the chrome you can use alclad chrome spray, it will give you amazing results. The important thing is to have a perfect high gloss finish black as base colour then apply alclad with the airbrush. Btw thumbs up for the magnificent work, only one thing, I would have removed the door panels and hood, but your work is great.

@vernhoke7730 5 лет назад

The front of that hood scoop doesn't need to be opened up. Those drew air from the base of the windshield that's why that little black piece was under the hood, the air cleaner had a foam ring around it and sealed to the bottom. Same as the "Cowl", actually ZL2, hood on 1969 Camaros. Oh, and my original "Sweet 16" '69 Vette was a red one back in the day.

@Diecast Resurrection if you want red really to pop and look better try painting it gold first, and then apply thin coats over and over again until you get a result you are happy with
