I see you used a black dry erase? Does color matter? Can any dry erase be used?.

@HonestDiecast 3 года назад

Hey Mike, great to see you my friend! 😁👍 You can pretty much use any color you like, I would just recommend not using the cheapo ones. Use Expo's or something of that nature. Sometimes the cheapo's can leave a pretty nasty residue left over that you'll have to try to clean off with acetone or alcohol. 😁👍👊

Question, how do i remove the nasty residue, the incident happened to my white hotwheel😢

@HonestDiecast 2 месяца назад

You can put a little bit of acetone on a rag and lightly rub the dry Erase and residue off. Did you use an Expo marker?

@woodandwheelz 3 месяца назад

Use a Q-tip instead of a rag to wipe on the acetone. It's more precise. Remove some of the cotton if needed.

@HonestDiecast 3 месяца назад

Great advise, thanks! 👊😁👍

@ferrisfindsdiecast 3 года назад

Sooo....I was just in Kroger today (wishing the mail-in shipper would show up) and looking at cars that have been hanging there forever. I was looking at some thinking, "I bet this would look good without those decals, but I don't know how to get them off." Honest Diecast to the rescue!

What is the best clear coat to use when applying decals so paint is not ruined,for example I want to paint a 57 gasser a color shift paint and put on decals and not ruin the paint.thank you for your help!😅

@HonestDiecast Год назад

Steve, I recommend trying Duplicolor 1K clear. You can find it at O'Riellys and Autozone, its about $19-$20 a can but its the best solution under 2K clear IMO! 👊😁👍

@sslouie Год назад

Hey first time watching one of your videos. I just started collecting hot wheels a few months ago and I’m now trying to do some customs. What do you suggest for getting the tempo out of the door jam? I always ruin the paint.

@HonestDiecast Год назад

Hey Louie, congrats on your new found addiction! For tampos in the door jam, you can try the mini/pointy q-tips found at Hobby Lobby in the diecast/model aisle (with the Testors paints). Dab just a lil acetone on the very tip and swipe it a few times wiping it off immediately after and it should work. If you dont feel comfortable with that, you can use your caligraphy pen and draw your body lines in and that should work. Hope that helps! 👊😁👍

@gildeluna8305 2 года назад

I have a redline aqua beach bomb and it has some yellow paint on it. Can I use the acetone sparingly to remove the yellow paint without it removing the aqua paint underneath? Or should I try the dry eraser method first? My goal is to retain the aqua paint as best as possible.

@HonestDiecast 2 года назад

Gil, thats probably what I would advise. Give the dry erase marker a try first. I doubt that will work for paint though, you'll probably have to tey acetone. I would dab some on a Q-Tip and try removing that way then rub immediately off with a microfiber cloth. 👊😁👍

Is it applicable to use acetone on my black count muscula? You know the car with no. 55 on the side? Just a kind friend asking

@HonestDiecast Год назад

Entity you should be ok but I might try on another car with similar paint first. You'd definitely want to use the acetone sparingly and dont let it pool or sit on the paint at all. 👊😁👍

@ernzcustomz 2 года назад

Have you tried using a vintage Sanford expo dry erase marker ? Do you know if it would be too harsh or would it be just as effective or not effective at all ? ..thANks..

@HonestDiecast 2 года назад

Emz, I have not tried it. The Expos I use are all new age stuff and work fine. The vintage ones I cant speak for unfortunately. 🤔👊

@ernzcustomz 2 года назад

@@HonestDiecast I tried new ones they did not work for me but they were the slim version I bought I probably have to try the thicker version ?

@HonestDiecast 2 года назад

Yeah try a thicker new Expo. Run it in a bit and let it sit for a few min.

@ernzcustomz 2 года назад

@@HonestDiecast I figured it out..I use a large expo and wet the area so it's fully covered then wait a second then wipe it with a microfiber cloth instead of trying to scrub it off with the tip of the expo works well ..thANks..

@planetprince67 2 месяца назад

So, could you then just add decals on top of it? AND, after adding decals must you clear coat to protect decals? I'm a beginning customizer. Thanks!

@HonestDiecast 2 месяца назад

Yep, you can do that and clear coat would definitely be recommended. 😁👍

@knockout0116 Год назад

Does the acetone or dry erase marker remove the shine to the paint? Making the paint less satin and more matte?

@HonestDiecast Год назад

If you're too abrasive with it, yes it can. Far less likely to happen with the dry erase marker though! 👊😉👍

@balamandro8057 2 года назад

Hello! I was wondering what other type of alcohol can I use

@HonestDiecast 2 года назад

Hey balamandro, in this video I use acetone. You may be able to try a dab of laquer thinner or even paint thinner but I'm not sure what the result will be. Acetone is pretty nasty as is but it evaporates quickly so its tougher for it to damage the paint when used sparingly. 😁👍

@balamandro8057 2 года назад

@@HonestDiecast ok thanks

@sergeylandgraf Год назад

I tried both and it does not work. Does it make a difference if it’s a premium hot wheels?

@HonestDiecast Год назад

It definitely does! This writeup is mainly for mainline cars as most premiums have much better clear coat. Its most likely still possible, but will likely take much longer and could damage the clearcoat. 👊😫

@redgreen6436 3 года назад

Doesn't the acetone dull the paint?

@HonestDiecast 3 года назад

Not if its a quick and light swipe. You definitely dont want to soak the rag or let it inundate on the car itself. Just a slightly dampened rag in a small spot directly on the tampos will do it! 😁👊
