- In this video we will restore a Corgi Toys Mercedes Benz 300SL from 1958-1962 which has suffered from some over painting...
So there will be paint removal and some polishing to get this vintage classic back on the road. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I've got this one. I sprayed it with dark blue car paint in the 1980s.Its not the colour I liked, but dark blue was in the garage, and I used it!
Ha we have all been there :)
Nice job, simple yet elegant.
Nicely done 😎👍👍👍🚗
Excellent work
Amazing restoration turned out Perfect well done 👍.
Another great video!
Repainted overenthusiastically ;) I did such a thing to a siku merc 230SL in my childhood, still have it...i think this will be my first project. Your restoration turned out very nice, got the same plated competition version and the yellow/red unsprung version with realistic ground clearance.
I used to play with the corgi and matchbox car and truck when I was a kid
Am. 65 years old now
A casting that size needs a tablespoon full of caustic soda in one go, to initiate the reaction. It is both heat, and chemical action that removes the paint. 'Matchbox Garage' uses this stuff all the time, with great results. His container of choice for this is the jar some foot-long hotdogs came in. It's obviously heatproof, and being tall, the chance of spitting chemicals escaping are considerably lessened.
And the finished result? What a beauty!
Looks great. I think the silver paint is more realistic than plating it.
Very nice. Looks great
Came out looking great ☺️
Very nice restoration 👍
A fine job!
What a transformation. Looks great now. Well done.
Beautiful job.
Witam , jak nowe, profesjonalna praca. Pozdrowienia z Polski
Nice work , I it looked like it was given a paint bath , last time I had one like the I took the tyers of and put the whole thing in brake fluid for a day ,it work ok, softend the paint enough so as the windows came out .
Great finish.
Very nicely done. I like the corgi mode of the 300SL as much as I like the Tomica model.
You can check out my resto of the Tomica model. Not as much work as yours though.
Great job!
Awesome restoration love it!!! Big thumbs up.. see you and take care.. m8.. ☺️😀😁
Now that looks stunning!!!!!😲😲
Nice job, looks great
Nice one and the finished car is lovely. A very 1960's toy car! Keep up the excellent work.
Really great restoration,!
Love this one. Went for the natural look with mine. Blinged it up with solvol autosol & some of that buffing soap. For protection, just gaveit a coat of clear lacquer. that sadly seemed to dull the shine abit. Did try a can of spray on chrome from plastikote. Nae bad
Turned out very nice🙂

a 304 mess .....good save
it's odd to think that when I was a child I thought I was the only one re painting toy cars with my mates , since the internet i'm discovering it was a worldwide activity ......if it wasn't for the internet i'd have sworn if i'd found a painted toy car that it was one of mine from my childhood
I painted mine as well, but masked off the glass and wheels beforehand. Once made a Corgi VW into "Hebie the Love Bug" that way.
brilliant
Smashing 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻
Nice work. Would be good to see the spray paints you use in each restoration.
I agree i keep forgetting my bad i use automotive paints, craft paints and sometimes water based modeling paint basically what ever is to hand or i can get locally. I live in a rural location so i do not want to always be ordering stuff from the internet as it gets expensive.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice job. I look forward to your next restoration.
Just as a matter of interest are you aware that you can use Detol disinfectant to remove paint from the plastic screen and interior of your restos without and damage? It usually takes 24 hours totally imerged.
Yes someone else suggested this a while back i have a bottle poised for action but the next few videos will not be needing it yet!
Would a shot of clearcoat over the polished metal keep it from tarnishing? Also, have you ever considered doing one of your restos in Spectraflame like the early Hot Wheels?
Spectraflame is on my todo list But i am operating on a budget hence my elcetic use of paints :)
the heat melted the screen , done it myself ,,,,,, if you come across the same problem again throw the complete car in a neat tub od Dettol , no heat or nasty chemicals so strip paint with no issues to plastics
with painted glued windshield submerge whole unit in a cheap brake fluid!
Nice job.... just don’t talk so much....
