It never ceases to amaze me how simple some of these seemingly impossible tasks can be done with such minimal material and effort. Awesome again bud!! :)
There is always a little bit of mad science with every hobby. You have perfected yours well done.
Thank you for restoring these cars and giving them new lives.
Nothing mad here. Just simple electrolysis........very useful though.........:-)
This is a game changer. Well done mate! Love it! Could you one day make a video about setting up a tumbler with the appropriate polishing compounds? I think a few of us would find that useful.
Perfect! I’ve been polishing some castings lately to spray Metallics over the polished finish but there’s 1 casting that didn’t polish that good. This will help me!
Thanks for the great video 👍🏽
I can see how this episode will lead to other plating topics. I like your result, and would very much enjoy seeing you paint a plated car in a way that would exploit the surface finish that plating provides. Great work as always. I enjoy this channel so much!
this is a major step in redline restoration!! now you can make nearly all cars just like the day they rolled off.. That Charger will look like new again, once you get to painting it :)
I really like way you explain the chemistry behind the proces.
Not a collector, fan, or even owner of any hot wheels or matchbox cars. I'm an automotive enthusiast without a doubt, but what really kept me here is your ability to grow and do new things. Plus, your tone of voice is very relaxing, and after a long day of work it's nice to see a new (or old) video to help unwind. Thanks for the videos! Keep them coming :D
Great instructions. Your plating and polishing guides are second to none. Im using them for carb rebuilds and jewelry!
That is cool!!
This is a real game changer when it comes to prepping redlines for spectraflame. Great job.
Pretty straightforward approach and all the relevant information given. Thank you!
Lovely paced narration, entertaining and educational , well filmed and edited......thank you, I look forward to becoming a Patreon when you choose to ask.
Zack, your host of videos are informative and entertaining. Because of you, I’ve embarked on Matchbox and Hot Wheels restorations. It’s a blast. Thank you.
soo cool! needs a coat of spectra flame ASAP!!
Thats a huge game changer, especially for the spectraflame paint preperation. I hope to see more of this in your future videos.
congrats on figuring out a way to zinc plate! this opens so many new doors! im excited to see what you do with it
This is the first time I've seen your 3D printed wheel display turntable. Lookin' good.
An unbelievable transformation. Might be too much effort to justify using for every restoration, but the results are truly remarkable.
Amazing! I look forward to seeing the paint on this!
You were more successful than me when I tried it about 10 years ago. Good job and you are a gem for the Hot Wheels Restoration Hobby. Keep up the good work. Again, let me know if you need anything. Jon
I can’t wait for the video of this car!!!!👍
Well done. Looks fantastic. I bet it opens up a plethora of what can be done now. Looking forward to seeing the car finished.
Your videos are satisfying in my opinion.
Amazing work - car looks so good at the end!
Game changer! Just when I thought it couldn't get better. Excellent video.
Great job! I can't wait to see the finished product. You are the best at what you do!
Love your new rotating display stand
Glad you were able to nail this down. Should mean a vast improvement on future projects that I really look forward too.
Ooooooh this is so awesome! I'll have to try it with steel eventually, particularly chassis mounts and RF shields in classic computers from the 80ies, they are usually so so rusty!
Wow that was so amazing the car had some very bad discoloration, but with that simple set up and some work looked as good as new great job and keep coming with those amazing videos.
Wow! The car looks very nice.
I have no idea why I love your videos so much. I don't even have 1 hot wheel. LOL
that was an awesome demonstration, you make it look so easy and clean, i may try that one day but for now i leave it to the experts lol
Hey baremetal HW you really got me into customizing hot wheels and I really want to get more customs done
Your custom vids are awesome
Amazing as always . You are a master at your craft !
New subscriber definitely a channel to help hotwheels customizers learn the hobby Definitely appreciated buddy
The car looks amazing after polishing!
That looks awesome, love watching your vlogs, keep it up, and a huge hello from Melbourne Australia
I've waited for this video a long long time. Awesome!
Just subscribed. Absolutely outstanding. Loving your work.
Cant wait to see the results of upcoming cars now!
love the new turntable!
Looks great! Excited to see it painted but it looks good as is too.
Мужик, ты очень крутой, хоть я не понимаю английского языка, все равно интересно смотреть твои видео)))))
These videos are fascinating.
I'd love to see that VW Beetle you restored awhile back redone with this method. It would look amazing.
Genius. I've been waiting for this video for so long. I enjoy your work so much, and now seeing that you finally don't have to use that disgusting metal paint undercoat, if the car had to be sanded.
Thank you for this vidio. I watched the vidio that u referanced and well, your vidio breaks it down to where the common person feels comfortable doing this. So again Thank you!
the car came out looking beautiful
I'd love to see you plate and paint a modern car in a vintage redline style
Been waiting on this one! Thanks!
Thank you for the tip. I have few cars that I will experimenting with. Great videos btw.
That looks great! Thanks for the videos!
Thank you for this tutorial. I will definitely be able to benefit from this.
Hey Baremetal! Never been this early!
Nice craft. I'm here trying to figure out how to do this to my plastic (PLA) models from my 3d printer.
This looks fairly easy to do meaning supplies are easier then I thought they would be ...cool
I would love to see more restorations involving zinc plating
I slowly started smelling vinegar while watching this. Keep working your magic
Amazing video sir and thank you for sharing your results!!
nice work maestro
Amazing! I really love your videos!
All I can say is amazing thanks for sharing
Very cool. I definitely have to give this a try
very interesting info. Amazing thanks for making these types of videos
Very nice tutorial! ! Gonna have to try this one day!
You did an amazing job👍 thanks for share
Love your videos and your work. Just wanted to mention that 'Redline Media Centre' has a video on youtube that claims it is better to use spectraflame with a hardner that then results in a chip proof finish rather than clear coat afterwards that does not. Thought you might find that info useful. He bashes a painted car to prove the point. Thanks again and keep up the great restorations.
looks insane nice job
Looks amazing.
Good job 👍
Wow It looks awesome!! Nice video man!!.....✨🔥 🎆 🎆....big thumbs up now for a nice spectra flame Color!!
Great work!
You make it look so easy.
Well. . In this case I think it is that easy..lol
Bravo.... that looks awesome
Fantastic, nice job!
incredible!!! thank you for this!
Another great video my man
Nice work! Wish I had the time and tools to do this too as there are many cars I have that I would love to restore/custom.
Power supply arrived yesterday. Picked up a gallon of white vinegar and some epsom salts on the way home tonight. Zinc strip is soaking in the solution. I have a 63 split window Corvette that my wife wants in Spectraflame Red, but when I stripped the paint, it was ugly underneath. This is going to be my first attempt at zinc plating.
It looks awesome!! Nice video man!!.....✨🔥 🎆 🎆
Wow, that's a major difference when compared to what you started with, great job! :D
Also, if you saw my previous comment on one of your videos let me know what you think.
Bueatiful! Thanks for showing us this!
Well this is just awesome 👏🏼! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I'm setting up to try this.
I'm using a heavily galvanized hot dipped steel lag screw as the zinc anode. My work deals with a plating company so tomorrow I'll see about getting a piece of scrap zinc from them as well.
Looks really good. I would clear it and leave it polished the way it is. But I wanna see some color on it to see how good it will look.
Would love to try this
YESSSSS a new video!!!!!
Sup I love your vids
awesome skills
Hot damn, sign me up. Looks great.
Thats was great, i want to try this method now... 👍
Cool, this can be used for plating other metal items as well.
If there was ever a car begging to be painted Spectra Flame Orange, this one is it. Great plating job, by the way!
These videos are cool man
Would love to see you put a Spectraflame color on one that has been plated... I'll bet that looks stunning.
You can buy zinc strips at your roofing supply store. They are used to prevent moss from forming on the roof. A 3' x 3" strip is less than $10.
Satisfying
Another awesome video! Can't wait to see some spectra flame on it, it's really going to look gorgeous!
If you wanted to do say gold or even platinum would you need a different liquid medium or would the white vinegar still work?
Caramba que legal. 😃
Dear Sir,
I have just watched a few of your excellent tutorial videos , and your techniques are applicable to other modelling, so very good.
I have two concerns , one you do not use disposable gloves when spray painting , which could lead to poisoning through your skin pores, and two you do not use an extractor fan based spray booth, again a potentially serious health hazard.
I do note that you emphasis safety with non water based materials, even so , I think it would be preferable that you please use disposable gloves for your work , and lash out on a vented spray booth please.
Your precise mode of talking is very commendable, thank you.
Best wishes, Philip from Australia.
