Ive actually found, thanks to a tip from a friend, that using a UV light can help cure chrome paint. Ive started using Mirror chrome paint which is amazing and brushes on quite well, I then throw it in a nail UV lamp for 30 minutes and it cures it. Might also work for the chrome paint youre using.
This was cool. Good to see you exploring a new angle with the powder coating, your explanation bringing us along was nice too. I like how you try to keep your setups realistic for others to follow and not some complex difficult specialist thing.
I know I’ve said this in the past on your channel but I really would like you to know, that your amazing work has gotten me into this hobby. I thank you so much for introducing me to the hotwheel customizing world. Thank you
You sound like the “how it’s made” guy, or at least have a similar tone, and I really like it cuz I just get submerged and hypnotized to learn. It’s honestly therapeutic and somewhat productive at the same time, since in the future I plan on working on my own model kits, you give valuable information to help me get a better understanding of the whole process even though you mainly do restoration.
Keep checking periodically to see a miracle and hearing from you again. You and Diecast Resurrection are literally the reason that I got into diecast customs years ago. Now I’m up to the level of using LEDs in my customs! Even had decals made for the name of my custom “shop”……. UNITZ CUSTOMZ
I'm going to say it and I mean this in the best possible way I'm pretty sure you're John C Riley doing a humble and amazing hobby channel. Now that that's off my chest keep up with the videos I always look forward to watching them.
Glad you're back! This was an interesting video. Gives me an idea of how Hot Wheels painted their cars back in the late 60s and 70s. Great job as always.
you really started a trend with these restorations, so much so that there's a ton of quick-grab channels that obviously fake their restorations. Glad you're back, real ones haven't missed you
You have really upped your game, Sir! After giving us detailed tips on how to apply paint and then powders and washes for distressing effects, you moved to restoring chromed plastics with Molotow and then plating for metal parts and now powder coating. Bravo and thank you!
I've seen powder coating used in larger restorations, such as large tonka toys, but never on a small diecast. Pretty nice. One thing I've seen them do is to do a base primer coat, sanded down, to eliminate some of the pitting. Then follow up with the actual paint.
I used to work for a company that had a huge power coating set up, so I know how fun it can be, great video, loved the finished product 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘
I really love this channel I'm glad you're putting videos up again when you were assembling the car I was just looking at the rear window that was on the table
Glad you're back! I love your content, very informative and entertaining. Please consider running your audio through a (dynamic range) compressor to even out the loudness and make what you're saying easier to hear.
Glad to see you back. Your videos were inspiring to me to begin airbrushing and restoring old cars. First restore I did was the Matchbox BP tow truck. Fond childhood memories. Keep up the educational videos. This made me want to try powdercoating
@@baremetalHW it's heavy paint coating. I'm not sure how to avoid it, I just was an inspection/assembly gal. The specks I know are dirt/dust particles that got onto your paint surface. For that you need a "clean" booth. Some place that it can't get in. But that too costly/involved for a hobbyist. (In my opinion)
@@shellygenter8585 yeah that's the problem... I can create a "clean room" but then it takes it out of what normal people can do. But I can probably do a lighter coat... just inexperience on my part... thanks for the help!!
I have lots of old Matchbox and Corgi cars that need restoring, but there are so many tools that you need that I haven't been able to do it. I would like to one day.
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing the process. I have considered getting a powder coater for things for my big car projects, but never thought about it for the small stuff. Might have to try it now since I have a booth and a dedicated toaster oven already. Good to have you posting more regularly again. Hope all is well with you.
Excellent work my friend. As always, you never disappoint with your craftsmanship. Keep the videos coming. Be safe, take care, and God bless you and your family.
I've seen powder coaters pre heat the metal to be painted in the oven to get rid of any impurities .let it cool then powder coat as normal. Hope this is of help, would love to see more powder coating .keep up the good work. Tim ,England UK.
First thing, thanks for showing that powder coating small object is easy and affordable. I find myself powder coating instead of spray painting these days. I have been playing with powder coat and also baked epoxy coatings for firearms. I use a cheap setup from eBay for applying powder. Something I have found to be very helpful to keep the oven at the proper temp, this being very important when coating some aluminum alloys, was a temperature controller I got on Amazon for about 15 bucks. The unit learns the response of the oven's heater and never overshoots the programmed temp by more tha n5 degrees. I have obtain really great results with the simple mod ina cheap toaster oven.
Great work on this! Had no idea you could powder coat something small like this without figment issues. Of course, if it can be done you’ll have a video for it! Thanks for the break from work...
You should make 15/30 minutes long videos about Hot Wheels/Matchbox history. I'm watching all your previous videos and you're super interesting when explaining details about the redline era and all.
You can also get some really cool colors when you start mixing powders. You can also zap yourself if you are touching something grounded and get the gun too close to your body, it really catches you by surprise when it happens but it didn't feel deadly though.

Glad I wasn't going insane.
Lmmfaoooo randomly hit me. Lost my shit lol

Not only is he great at restoring and teaching, his voice is calming. I always feel...like I've just finished therapy.
(So glad he's back)
I love this channel I really do this got me into cars

Glad you are here and a part of the hobby!
@@baremetalHW thank you👍👍👍 btw what scale was the Jaguar
Cool resto. I've always wondered about how good the harbor freight powder coaster was. Now I know. Thank you.
I've been using one for years. They work well enough for occasional use, but I would not try to use one on a daily basis.

Same here, I came hoping for new videos
Wow, second car restoration video I've seen with Eastwood powder coating gear in use. The first was Ronald Finger's Fiero restoration.
You are the Bob Ross of restoring model cars.
The care amd attention for details is amazing! I'm glad that you share every steps on what you did for us!!
Love that little laugh you added to your video. Really appreciating these uploads again and glad to hear and see what you got to offer :)

Finally someone who explains. what he does. in a restore video. (sorry for bad spelling i am dutch)
So good to have you back! Love your channel.
I love every video you make. I don't even collect lil cars. I just find your videos soothing and informative.
8 seconds ago?! A new record!
Like 3 of my favourite TH-camrs have come back, this year is getting better!
Also wow this car looks like a pain to put back together
Glad to see you back.

I find your videos really interesting and fun. So thank you Sir. Welcome back and I'm looking forward to the next one.
That's recognisable as a 1970s series 3 E type - I wish someone made a 1/24 series 3 model kit. Awesome work on this, mate.
That powder coat really turned out nice!
So glad you’re making more videos!!!
I've never seen powder coating at home. Maybe I just haven't looked, but this is really neat to see.
Love the restorations, and enjoy the tips and hints, lessons learned, etc. So glad to see you’re posting again!

Closest I’ve been to an upload! So glad you’re back to posting *regularly*
to me the E Type would always be one of the most beautiful cars from the 70s,especially the mk1 E Type roadster
Love that you're back man.
Nice to see your return. I've assembled metal units in factories that powder coat...just know I can see the defects. But Nice car restoration overall.
What would you do to reduce them? I have some ideas but would like an expert opinion...

Very cool!! Will check on that... do you have a model #?

XKE, hellz yeah. Love em. Paul just did one. Great job and I love it in red 😺

I chuckled when you said the back hatch just fell off. I straight up laughed when I heard the "haha" sound effect you added.
Very cool! Nice to have you back! Great info on this method! I've always wondered how powder coating worked!
Great work on this! Had no idea you could powder coat something small like this without figment issues. Of course, if it can be done you’ll have a video for it! Thanks for the break from work...
One of my favorite cars IRL. Nice work! Thanks for all you do.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
So happy to see you back!
Excited to see a new video
Yes another video

I missed these videos.
I agree, airbrushing takes a lot of time. prep, paint, drying, and clean up.
He's back! It is truly a glorious day!
I'm so glad to see you're back! Looking forward to more awesome projects :D
Another great video and importent info!
beautiful restoration!!
Love it.
Great restoration looks wonderful keep well
Thats a sharp powder coat. 😱
Nice job as always, You did an awesome job.
Love that he’s back - love his videos. 😍
That is gorgeous for a single 'layer' of paint!
Love this channel! The way you explain stuff makes it super easy to follow along. Also great job on the car
Came out very nice, very cool.
You can also get some really cool colors when you start mixing powders. You can also zap yourself if you are touching something grounded and get the gun too close to your body, it really catches you by surprise when it happens but it didn't feel deadly though.
Thanks for share your superb work. Greetings from México!
Great insight into this process.
Thanks
Well presented and informative. Nice work!
Nice video
Beautiful work
1:27 Was that Nelson's laugh in the background?
Been a while, nice to see you again bro.
This was really interesting and well worth the wait! Thanks for sharing this.
Nice job. I just rebuilt the earlier series II E type 6 cylinder version. I had the same problems with the rear door 😆
Cool process !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome technique
