Tried this, didn’t ‘adhere’ for me. I did not spray clear on the existing car, as I was going to just put the decal on factory paint. I guess that’s my problem? I Need new paint on the decal AND the diecast..?
RaceGrooves someone used this technique for LEGO: they printed their design,then put one sided tape on top, and two sided on the bottom, then when he cut it out it was like any old sticker I’m also a sub
I have the same hotwheel, but it actually has the wonder bread logo on it. it looks weathered and beat up which would be absolutely perfect for Gaslands. Thank you for sharing this technique.
I'm never going to put the techniques in your tutorial videos to use since I don't modify die cast cars (or die cast anything), but I'd be lying if I said they weren't fun to watch.
Even say one made from polystyrene plastic? Because I'm pretty sure the plastic will melt or at least deform from the hair dryer phase. That said it is a cool technique for metal objects.
A hairdryer will not distort styrene plastic models. If you're just not sure, test on a body where it won't make any difference. A heat gun is another subject.
Wow, that takes me back! I remember a similar technique I learned around 1990. Instead of printing the images, it used the glossy ad prints from the Sunday paper. Two or three thick coats of gloss, cut out, then a still wet coat of gloss on the surface you wanted to apply it on. Had a hard hat (summer job) covered in cereal advertisements. Lucky, Captain Crunch, and Snap Crackle and Pop.
This was a trick I learnd back in my drag racing days in the 70s. But we used clear lacquer; works just as well. I didn't know anyone else knew...Great video!
Hi, I love this easy technique. You asked for suggestions, mine is to use rice paper. It will be much easier to remove, nearly dissolve in water. Please keep up the great work!
Rice paper goes through a printer? I would have thought the ink would dissolve the paper, or the paper might crack or jam in the printer. Would love to see this method in action.
This is a really good idea! Coincidentally, I've been doing something similar to this recently. I just printed decals onto a sheet of paper, and then I glued it to the car. This is a much better idea and it doesn't seem to be too hard to do, so I'll be trying this out once I get my own can of clear coat instead of my brother's. Great job as usual!
Thank-you so much for this! I've been trying to find a low-cost method of applying decals and artwork to my scale models. Going to try this technique and see how it works for me.
This is awesome dude thanks so much! if you can improve anything on that I would say To just adjust color saturation before printing to compensate for the faded result of original print settings.
Hey baremetalHW, Good day to you, This How to make custom decals from PLAIN paper. (No decal paper) was great information and excellent examples. Thank you. Take care and have a Happy Veterans Day. Peace :D Back to more videos :P
baremetalHW Heck Yeah! Awsome technique. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see yo make the 1955 Cadillac hearse in the "Warriors" movie. That would be sick.
Thank you for a wonderful and inexpensive way of applying graphics on a vehicle. I want to do customs so all this is new for me. I will keep this method in mind and hope to make something cool! Thank you again for this great tip!
I think this is a great technique for something that looks aged and/or abanded. That decal looked blurry once you wiped all the paper fibers away. It didn't look clean like the truck was new or near to new. I like the grafetti detail. Thanks for the technique.
Awesome cool! Basically this is kind of a modified napkin-technique, which works perfectly for this small scale. This provides almost limitless possibilities at low cost in a simple way. With other words: genious.
I think Hot Wheels released a bus casting as a police prison transporting bus, if I also remember correctly there is a pure white version and a split version having black upper and lower with a white middle.
Holy hell that is BRILLIANT! O______O I've always wanted to get into this custom decal thing but could never get past the price of admission. Those custom decal kits are too expensive to me. This is an incredibly smart way to do it! Wow! Thank you!
