@@tyerex5031 Everyone starts roughly at the same level, so everyone can do this, instantly. If you have already some experience in model building or something similar (like I did), it might be easier. But the most important step to take is just to start. It comes down on how passionate you are about it. Success is a matter of will. But like I said, you need to start! Basic stuff like spray painting out an can, wheel-swapping / lowering and detail painting can be learned quickly., just have fun!
@@Slav_Cream You can use 1.5mm to open it, but you wont fit a M2 screw into the post. You can just glue it back, or put it with no support back on. Depending on which side of the world you live (metrical / imperial System): you can use different screws with different available drill bits
Tips for cheap realistic seatbelts, You can fold stick a masking tapes into a seat belts. It does have a nice textile texture after painted. Have fun customizing, cheers
I can’t stress enough how amazing this video is. Thank you so much for putting out such an instructive and dynamic video. It is also great to see you appear in a video! Keep it up, love every upload.
@@themodelcarprojecthello, the best thing to do when painting is drilling the car’s bottom bc of the circle thingies And then use paint stripper Use sand paper and sand it a bit Add paint Add clear paint for layering or shininess if you want
Man... I know I'm late to the show... but you motivated finally getting that one Matchbox model car, that's missing so many details and has the wrong color... and fix it up, so it matches my old car, that I had to sell many years ago. Thank you so much!
Another important factor, the temperature of the spray can. The warmer it is, the finer the paint coming out of the nozzle. Also helps to get as much coverage with less paint, saving you money.
Thank you so much for your instructional, inspirational, and entertaining videos. I finished painting my first two cars this week. Not perfect at all, but super happy with the results.
Honestly man you are mature and wise above your years. LOVE IT. Thank you for putting this together and I hope this does you well financially this video as it is DESERVING!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this! I'm at a level between 2 and 3, let's say. I don't have proper helping hands yet, but have some sticks with some helping hands like ends to grab the car. Double sided tape can be replaced for a "self loop" on a regular tape as well, if you don't want to spend extra. I just use the toilet paper carton without tape anyway, but it's a good idea to also do this. My advice to beginners especially, is to just have fun and don't think you need a lot of equipment to do this. And have patience as mentioned. You'll get better over time. Haven't done a custom in a while and didn't know about the compatibility between casting, primer, paints and clear coats. I actually had a car chip on its own at a very late stage. I thought it was maybe because I didn't wait enough for it to dry between layers, but maybe the primer is not right for the casting as well (but I have no way of knowing the material easily because it's not a Hot Wheels car). Either way, congrats on the video and thanks for sharing, bud! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for writing this, you address some important points and tips. You can easily go with a low budget, just start and learn. And if you like the hobby, you can step up your game. 👉To paint incompatibility: It's important that you do NOT apply different layers of different types of 1k paint (lacquer, enamel, acrylic). The safest way is to stay in one range, to prevent side effects. A general rule of thumb: You can put anything over lacquer, but nothing underneath it (lacquers are the "hottest" paints of all, they can destroy coats underneath). 👉With primers it's often a bit different, mostly because they are basically cocktail mixes, so even manufacturers don't say (or know?? ;D) what it is exactly. Usually you can put almost everything over them (this is what a good primer should provide). The key is to find one, where they explicitly say that you can use it for aluminium, brass, zinc (Die-Cast-Metal)... or experiment and gamble ;) Thank you too for watching and supporting!
@@themodelcarproject thanks for the thorough reply! I'll take another shot at the one that has chipped because it's a very special project for me (it's a 1:43 reproduction of my first car so I really want to have it done to display). I'll try again but with a better drying time for the primer itself and be patient. All in all, the key is to have fun and enjoy the process. All the best and thanks again for sharing all the knowledge ✨
if u dont have a thing to hold u can use binder clipsfor that i cant tell u in words how to position it, i would need to show a picture but u will get to it;) edit: i know nothing about customising hot wheels i just saw that on another yt channel bruh
For level 1, a branch snapped in half to make a smaller stick and tape on the end, attached to the bottom makes a good free holder, so you don't have to paint your own hand and makes it so you can paint the whole thing without having to hold on to it.
Ich habe diesen Kanal heute gefunden weil ich meine alten (halb kaputten) hot wheels mahl ein Upgrade geben wollte diese videos sind sehr hilfreich von sehr guter Erklärung bis zu sehr gutem editing! Einfach top!! 🤙
Tell me you are German without telling me you are German! You nailed it :D It's not just the perfection in your work, it's also the same perfection that is going into the production of your videos.
one thing is , if you want to use tamiya and other model focused primies on metal, use metal primers/prep first. tamiya has one in a brushed mini jar and it makes the real primer adhere better and would prevent it from chipping like we can see here
Few tips from my time building models and used spraycans: Best was tamiya spraycans and if you heated them in warm wather you get even finer result. Because of small details on model cars, normal spraycans tends to lay too thick and details dissapear. But best is airbrush ofcourse
Thanks for sharing! Second that, especially if you paint on colder days, a warm can will perform better. Just make sure you dont get any water drops into the nozzle-spray area.... Tamiya makes very good paint indeed, I wont argue, just their primers are more platic-model focused. A tip to reduce the layer thickness on normal spray cans: use a low pressure flat cap. You will get finer results and the paint will lay down much nicer.
I know I should probably finish the full video incase you already went over it, but what if I want to paint it by hand? I'm turning my Lancia Delta Integrale into the rally car version and I want to paint all the details on.
Very nice, lets gooo🤙Man, every time I post something, you always comment and at the same time one of the first. Heap thanks for your years of support🫶
I am painting my nine hundred and eleventh Porsche, I will update messages in the future. Updated for the first time: I took off the paint after getting minor chemical burns, due to the fact that the gloves were torn. Now I'm going to cover the machine with soil, but due to the fact that I bought a bad "helping hand" it may not be successful. Updated for the second time: this morning I covered the body of the machine with soil. Because I'm going to rest tonight, I didn't do everything according to the instructions. But definitely thanks to the author for his video, I will use it. Updated for the third time: I glued the car. And it turned out as for a beginner - not bad, it seems to me. I am very happy with my first job, I hope it will become my favorite thing.
This is going to help because I am thinking of unboxing my mustang svo and spray painting it red so it looks like his old ford fairmont which dosent have a hotwheels yet!
Thank You for very deep explaining! Dziękuję bardzo. I'm thinking about repainting my amiga cd32 computer , because original cover is in dark grey and catches dust instantly... All best in 2024
Its always best to strip the paint of then paint it as like brand new. The buffing is essential. The 3 step of painting make better result on the finish look.
I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on how you model and 3d print some of the accessories you make for your cars ( like wheels and the pop headlights) because I’ve always wanted to make some but never knew how to
Glad to hear! Yes absolutely that works as well. You can even buy color paint that has already gloss particles in it, so after the color coat you would be done without the need of a clear coat for a glossy finish. May want to look out for such a spray can, it's on you what you will find/ what you prefer
I play this tabletop game… (not board game; so many people mess that up and as nerdy as it is its strangely annoying) its called gaslands, you basically build hypothetical death machines are race them in a post apocalyptic universe. Basically mad max. But because of what it is i like to drill my cars apart, glie whatever 3d printed weapons and garbage i find (cut up hotwheels boxes for armor plating welded on, toothpicks for huge spikes and various things) glue everything on, prime it, paint it and you get an absolute rust bucket ratrod contraption.
thanks for the tutorial I'm currently working on painting my Dodge Challenger SRT hellcat from blue to red or black i think I'm going for level 3 since i don't have a studio
This does seem to be something impressive. Me having quite decent art potential myself. Though I don't feel one hundred percent sure I'd wanna to be doing this to any of the cars that I would have.
AMazing work!! Putting together all different prices for each level!! I send everyone from my IG to your youtube page when someone asks me how to lower a hot wheels. Great job and great video!!!
Hello! I'm learning how to properly drill down the rivets on some practice cars, and I'm approaching the part where I'll start stripping the paint. I quite like the metalic look of naked cars and want to sand them down to make them smooth and use a clear coat as well as painting the lights on the cars! How would you reccomend I go about this process, as well as any specific products to reccomend! Much love from NY
For this process you will have to use an lacquer based clear coat (the best option would be 2k clear, but I strongly would stay away from it as a Beginner, since its harmful and difficult to handle). Not that any Acrylic or water-based clear coats wouldnt work to keep the metal-diecast of the car shiny. Reason for this is that the water inside the paint will make the diecast oxidize and the paint will crack. Laquer-based clear coats are good for this, since it doesnt have water inside it. Be sure to make the body super clean and keep it dry before applying the clear coat! Hope this helps, cheers from Germany!
Thank you so much, this is the best explaining video that i ever watched; i have a question how you made your "helping hand"? again thank you, you really got talent.
Very glad that it helps! The helping hand is usually used to hold electronic parts while soldering. I just bought a few of them, they are like 5 bucks. The only modification I did is that I took of the magnifying glass and attached one arm to the joint where the glass has been. You can just grab HW cars much easier.
Hi! Can u teach how to change 1$ hw cars wheels to premium wheels,(beginner guide) i tryed to learn but still confused how to do it. Example i opened under the car like 2:08 then we see long thing which holds (helps) to wheels, i saw on other creators that they brake that small thing but, then they dont show how they put it back. Also pls MORE BEGINNER GUIDE PLS I LIKE IT! srry for my not well english)
You can check out two of my videos on how to "stance" a HW car. Just skip the stance process in this case. In another video I show how I install monoblock wheels, which is basically what you want, just wheelswap: th-cam.com/video/JakwifAdfcI/w-d-xo.html I break "that small thing" off as well, usually the interior should hold the axle on 2 studs for each axle. You can put the car back together how you want. Gluing works, or add an M2 screw, or sometimes it just holds itself. Another budget option would be to put a tiny bit of double sided tape into the inside of one door. Then press the base with the interior back. Hope that helps
Amazing video and can’t choose better car 😉 I want to make a custom of the same miata, but how can you make the holes for the headlights? And how can u make the popup headlights? Just 3d printing? Thanks man!
Thank you! I made a quick tutorial on how to install pop ups without a 3d printer, you may want to check it out. The holes where made by first drilling, then cutting with a small jigsaw (0,4mm thickness of the saw itself, the slimmer the better). Hope that helps!

Wish I had the skill, just don't have the time. Always wanted a hot wheel customized to look like my car. How long did it take you to learn the skill?
My question: can i use a 1,5mm instead of the 1,8mm drill bit? The 1,8 is very hard to find (i never saw it) and i got a 1,5mm at home.

great motivation for the end part of video..thanks ive learn more with your video..
Thank you, glad to hear!✌️
I think you just introduced me to my next hobby
I was going to get a hotwheels 1957 Plymouth fury on my birthday, so I can Turn it to christine so this will help me to spray paint
Hello! I'm learning how to properly drill down the rivets on some practice cars, and I'm approaching the part where I'll start stripping the paint. I quite like the metalic look of naked cars and want to sand them down to make them smooth and use a clear coat as well as painting the lights on the cars! How would you reccomend I go about this process, as well as any specific products to reccomend! Much love from NY
For this process you will have to use an lacquer based clear coat (the best option would be 2k clear, but I strongly would stay away from it as a Beginner, since its harmful and difficult to handle). Not that any Acrylic or water-based clear coats wouldnt work to keep the metal-diecast of the car shiny. Reason for this is that the water inside the paint will make the diecast oxidize and the paint will crack. Laquer-based clear coats are good for this, since it doesnt have water inside it. Be sure to make the body super clean and keep it dry before applying the clear coat!
Hope this helps, cheers from Germany!
@@themodelcarproject Thank you for the guidance! :D
Bro thank you for info extremely helpful can’t wait do my first custom and love the ending meaning motivating words
I'm very glad to hear that my man, thank you very much. Happy customizing!
Nederlands? Goed gedaan! Dank je voor de informatie. ❤
No, Germany! However I still could understand what you are saying, the words themselves are a bit similar ;D
wow very very nice! thank for help me!
Thanks for so useful and enjoyable video
glad to hear, thanks!
That Mr.bean part though 😅also real good tips i subscribed
Very good information
Thank you so much, this is the best explaining video that i ever watched; i have a question how you made your "helping hand"?
again thank you, you really got talent.
Very glad that it helps! The helping hand is usually used to hold electronic parts while soldering. I just bought a few of them, they are like 5 bucks. The only modification I did is that I took of the magnifying glass and attached one arm to the joint where the glass has been. You can just grab HW cars much easier.
@@themodelcarproject thank you for answering!!! I really need one of those 😅.
Have a nice day, I can’t wait for your next video jejejeje
Hi! Can u teach how to change 1$ hw cars wheels to premium wheels,(beginner guide) i tryed to learn but still confused how to do it. Example i opened under the car like 2:08 then we see long thing which holds (helps) to wheels, i saw on other creators that they brake that small thing but, then they dont show how they put it back. Also pls MORE BEGINNER GUIDE PLS I LIKE IT!
srry for my not well english)
I think they just glue it in
You can check out two of my videos on how to "stance" a HW car. Just skip the stance process in this case. In another video I show how I install monoblock wheels, which is basically what you want, just wheelswap: th-cam.com/video/JakwifAdfcI/w-d-xo.html
I break "that small thing" off as well, usually the interior should hold the axle on 2 studs for each axle.
You can put the car back together how you want. Gluing works, or add an M2 screw, or sometimes it just holds itself. Another budget option would be to put a tiny bit of double sided tape into the inside of one door. Then press the base with the interior back.
Hope that helps
@@themodelcarproject thanks! i will try that!
Great video brother. 🔥
Thank you✌️
He’s back!
Yeyeyye thank you for your support🤙
Amazing video and can’t choose better car 😉
I want to make a custom of the same miata, but how can you make the holes for the headlights? And how can u make the popup headlights? Just 3d printing? Thanks man!
Thank you! I made a quick tutorial on how to install pop ups without a 3d printer, you may want to check it out. The holes where made by first drilling, then cutting with a small jigsaw (0,4mm thickness of the saw itself, the slimmer the better). Hope that helps!
Hey how do i can make the wheels? Please answer
