How to customize a diecast toy car 

For a first timer you really seen to have to process down. But I warn you, this is A very addictive hobby. Just proceed at your own risk. And about the windshield, look up bare metal hw, he has a vid to get rid of the fogging.

I what it very nice

Whats the point? Why bother?

Just a tip - get rid off the background music - it's far too distracting for us enthusiasts! Love your work! :)

Very cool Hugo. This is a hobby that I've been keeping my eye on for a while now. There are some really inspirational guys out there doing the HotWheels/Matchbox customization thing.

Haha proton saga

Hi Yuri. Sorry if I spell your name wrong, I can't hear you clearly when you say your name. I'm interested in restore and custom the diecast toy cars, scale 1/64 but am not sure where to get parts like wheels and tyres. Do you perhaps know where to get these in South Africa as I'm scared to use these online buys. I'm from the Vaal Triangle, so Johannesburg is not to far from me. Please let me know if you know where I can buy these type of parts. Also maybe if you know where to get 2nd hand toy cars as they are expensive like crazy or do you know where to buy them for good prices? Thanks, I enjoy your videos.

Might I suggest aircraft stripper or another aerosol paint remover. It goes much faster and thoroughly.

Good job on the Saab. Very interesting that there are no clips for the axels and they seem easy to remove and reapply. So that sheet of metal? keeps them in place?

as somebody that does this for a hobby,it was hard to watch,i suggest spending $100USD and buy a decent airbrush kit,may i suggest before attempting to do this again watching "BaremetalHW" youtube channel

I wish i can renew my kiapride taxi on as u see on my profile thats my old toy taxi car kiapride from 2009

good man,keep it up.

I used to have a Saab 9000 aero in back.... Nicely done

The interior looks fantastic. If that’s your first treatment, you must be well pleased with the result.

Nossa ficou lindo...fiquei impressionada com tanta perfeição! Tenho um carro do meu filho que precisa passar por essa transformação rs ele ama hot wheels e eu também ☺

This is fucking badass😂👍🏼 I’ve been recently collecting autoworld diecast & hot wheels! This is useful thanks bro!

Looks good. You don't need an air brush. There are quality spray paints available meant for mural artists with various pressures and finishes. Low pressure matte finish spray cans and custom caps for the cans too can turn out really even and smooth.

It's an awesome video on how to customize one of the hot wheels, matchbox and maisto cars, trucks, suvs and vans various to new.

Its Like Proton Saga Right

awful music' great video

Pragtig meneer, ek hoop jy sal weer een maak . Jy moet ook kyk Marty’s Matchbox makeover, vir tips Ons kom van Camperdown in Kzn.....waar is jy? Dankie

Just starting up. What is the stand you are using to hold car in place whilst painting?

Learn to clean and polish the windows.

Good work mate

Magnificent work my friend and good explanation very nice model I enjoy watching your video this is a pleasure for the eyes I am subscribed of France 🇫🇷👍 And I would be proud to have you as subscriber too 👍

Use primer before spray painting....

You can sometimes restore fogged windows using rubbing compound, and a buffing wheel in a dremmel type tool, there are tutorials on youtube from a lot of Hotwheels restorers such as baremetalhw

Why didn`t you polish the windows ?

Good job!!!!

Good job man, subbed. 😁

This video was so inspirational

For a beginner, you did very good, but coming from an experienced diecast modifier, you should use primer before the color paint, so it has less chance of chipping.

Not bad at all

Nice, for a amateur you have some great skills. The car came out excellent, in fact it looked extremely well....... but that window, original or not. Make's it look worse than it does.

For the interior, you can use black with red parts. That will look better than dark brown. (~_~)

That's quiet neat for a first car. My first car looked like crap. It turned out so horrid that I couldn't keep myself from tearing it apart a few minutes after I had completed it to paint it all over again. Good job btw!

Thanks for some great tips! Ive uploaded my first restorationgo and check it out!

How do you open the wheels ?!!!

Very well done my friend. Midas sells P100 polishing compound and it's relatively cheap, I find that it doesn't leave that black residue after polishing. I also enjoy restoration of the old Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars. You should get a cheap basic HW and swap the wheels, will look even better. I look forward to seeing more restorations/customs.

looks pretty gangster

Ayyy that was a Malaysian car proton saga wow in Matchbox

вот это рукожоп...) До было гораааздо лучше

Great job man... ;) You did a very decent work - especially nailed the interior and tiny details around the car.. I have immediately subscribed and can't wait until the next video - keep posting and good luck.

I love to see another SAAB restored!

Nice. You did a lovely detailed Custom.

As a fellow South African, this is really cool. Thanks for this video. I'm currently busy with my first restoration.

Majestic..spectacular ..really nice color great video awesome for your first time..please do more

I really like the work that you did on the custom car so I subscribe to your Channel

Fantastic video :) also may I ask what music is played here ? All the best.

May i know what putty u use? The dark grey colour one.

if only the modern matchbox cars had opening doors.

great job, inspiring video

Very nice! I have recently started restoring old die cast cars myself. I had this saab 9000 as a kid! Did you re tap the rivet posts? Or did you use self tapping screws? Keep up the good work, you are an artist!

I HAVE THE SAME CAR!!!!

Estaba mejor antes

Great restoration job .... I have a few cars I'm hoping to restore myself some time !

You should Polish the Windscreen

Pro tip, use paint STRIPPER not thinner
