    Just wanted to pop in and say your channel actually helped me in a pinch. My foreman wanted me to paint some sections of pipe, nothing fancy, just a glossy black. So he leaves me with the sprayer, paint, thinner, and leaves. I've never used a sprayer before, not even mixed paint to use with a sprayer. But I remember that this channel said it was supposed to have a consistency like milk. So I did that. It wasn't a huge deal, I suppose, but this channel actually came to the rescue. Thanks for all the great work!

    In my late 20's I had the misfortune to become a "SAAB Certified Technician" - a free course that ended with a good paying job (rare find for a Vet in the 70's). Further lowering my ego I was assigned the title AND function of "Regional Sonnet III Specialist". In Sweden I would have been a celebrity. Here, I might as well have been wearing a clown costume. I was bullied about my job. But NOW, after you have elevated the SAAB Sonnet III to celebrity status, my SAAB days have gone from embarrassment to PRIDE. Thanks, man.

    Mahalo for reminding me why and how much a enjoy the colour teal! Along with your recent redline AMX, this model must make the original manufacturers envious. They can only wish to achieve the level of craftsmanship you dispaly on all things you do. Hau'oli Makahiki Hou from a (very rainy) Hawai'i!

    Another unique and really cool Matchbox Superfast casting. I have no idea as to why I like these castings so much. The suspension is wicked, and it gives them a to intense stance. Also those huge tires gives it a badass look!

    The next time you want to bring the color back from a piece of plastic soak it in tire dressing and then spray it with plastidip. You let it sit for a couple of days and when you peel off the plastidip the color will return like it’s new. Other methods can be to polish it as you did and then heat the piece with a hairdryer. The high heat will activate the polymer and bring it to the surface… Just a few tips from my own restoration projects.

    Love me a MB SuperFast! - I still have my 1983 catalog from when I was a kid along with generic case of 48 Matchbox and Hot Wheels. Didn't really get much for Christmas - I did get a nice bottle of real maple syrup aged in bourbon barrels. The coolest Christmas present I'd ever gotten was an Evil Knievel stunt cycle - I think it was in either 1976 or '77.

    YO, this gave me massive "cell shaded" vibes in the thumbnail. Ever seen that style of painting? they paint them in a way where they look like cartoons, the effect would go REALLY well with smth like this.
    There's a bunch of transformers ones, if you wanna check it out, would probably be fun to try and a very unique look!

    Great resto job on the Saab, I need to get a custom airbrush after all the money I've spent on spray cans, I could have bought one by now.
    What I got for Christmas? A $50 Ebay gift card, gonna purchase some items from Bright Vision and various other items to complete some projects I have.
    * Current Project is all 4 Hot Wheels The Farbs!
    Glad I'm not the only one with 1/64 Diecast Addiction!

    Very nice result. I've always liked this Saab Sonet. I had one mint in box I bought from new, back in the 70's. I sold it along with others at a school fete when I was 16 for less than retail price at the time. Regret that so much now!

    Beautiful paint job (as always). I love the old Matchbox Superfast. If you have a Road Dragster I’d like to see you restore one. It is so ridiculous looking and so cool at the same time. Oh, I got my first air brush for Christmas! Yo! It’s going to take my paint jobs to another level. Can’t wait to get going. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I don't really bother about christmas, but my brother and his partner surprised me by giving me a super nice pair of VANS (#notspon) skate shoes, (I don't skate; my bad-tempered knees stopped that years ago, but the shoes are cool), and a book about Rough Trade record stores, and the Rough Trade record label - I've been buying records since 1976. Got quite a few now...
    That SAAB Sonnett III was an unusual choice for a Matchbox model - it was quite a rare car in the UK, as all made were left hand drive. Pretty car, though. Your custom colour is far nicer than the original.
    Nice one.
