I see what you're doing but all the over-spray is driving me nuts.
My ocd went from 0-100 real quick. It was through the roof I tell ya. 🤔🤦🏻♂️🎨
@MidNight Rules it's an irish thing you tool
Now you can ditch the silver Sharpies and use a 1 or 2 mm Chrome Molotow marker. With the 1 mm marker you can get much neater edge. For the taillights, first use the chrome Molotow marker, wait a couple of days, then follow up with the red sharpie.
That sounds great where can i buy chrome markers tho so that i don't need to use silver sharpie
Craft or model hobby shop
Those are the only size of Molotow pens that suck!
My "method" for the back lights is to use silver paint first, let it dry and then paint over it with the red sharpie, it makes them look kind of shiny.
I did not expect dubstep lol
Fine point paint pens do a great job as well.
I've been using sharpies since I started to,add detail. And if people don't have an air brush you can use a black fine line sharpie for the grill/intakes for the cars
Its funny, I don't own hot wheels nor do i mod them, but i still watch and enjoy these videos, Thanks, very informational for me!
for the Chevrolet logo I would've used gold sharpie if u have
Zachary Rangel I have two pens of metallic gold sharpie
Good tip. You should look into using a thinner, or fine tip sharpy. I used a fine tip an was able to mimic writing on the doors of trucks in a railroad scene.
Brilliant!
For grilles that were originally chrome on the actual vehicle, you can use silver paint followed by a wash with thinned-out flat black. Your videos are pretty cool. I really enjoy your mature and clear delivery of your info.
These little details make them look so much better
Been watching for a bit now. Love what you are doing here. You are like the Bob Ross of hot wheel restos. I would like to say that I have really grown fond of your voice and don't love the musical additions because of it. I really could just listen to you repeat instructions. I think the beauty of your "show" is it's simplicity. Anyway, please keep it up. As someone who didn't come here from the resto/mod/model community and who isn't a collector, I find your content and the way you present it to be very interesting. I keep turning people to your channel as well. Thank you for the work and effort you put in. It shows.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Question, after all details are made with nothing but sharpies, have you ever sprayed clear coat on it? I heard a couple of dudes sprayed clear coat and the sharpies color smeared. Does this or has this happened to you?
+Rivera E Not yet.. I have sprayed Testers clear coat over tons of sharpie with no bad effects... This makes sense though... most clear coats you buy have acetone in the mix in some small amount. If you spay the car with any paint or solvent that has Acetone it will cause it to run or smear.. Testers clear coat has not Acetone in it... thus no smearing... in my last video (army car) I use a sharpie and then clear coat over it... you can see in that video that there was not smearing.. Thanks for watching!
baremetalHW cool. It turns out I have testers clear coat, I will use it now
It depends entirely on what kind of clear coat you're using, water based or oil based. Water based clear coats won't affect sharpie ink
for the beck lights u must use the white painte before the red marker or the red painte .
ahh... good idea... thanks!
p
was going to say same thing but silver. When detailing real cars even ultra high dollar ones black markers are used a lot. Can be cleaned off but still fairly durable
Hamza I thanks😁
unless you want smoked taillights.
For the tail lights wouldn't it look better if you put silver first then red over the top?
scruffs nailpolish or metalic acrylic paint also look great for detailing tail lights and turn indicators..
Yup or chrome marker
thank you!!i'll try it!
Yay. My car is in here :)
Brilliant idea with the silver sharpee. I've been thinking how I can emphasize those logos but somehow never thought of a sharpee. Truly simple is king!
Thank you for the video!!! I couldn't find a silver sharpie, so, I work at dollar tree, found a gold and silver pen set, not glitter, worked great couldn't believe how well it worked in a pinch! The brand is Inc. metallic!
I love seeing this channel grow I subscribed when you had 6,500 subs
For that chrome grill you could use some watered down black ink. It can be applied very precisely with a small brush and the ink just flows naturally into the recessed areas.
baremetalhw I'm thinking of getting the Testors enamel paint set, dipping a toothpick / needle / something thin into one of them, and painting in details with that. Do you think this will work?
You can blue-in the inner headlights on the Fairlane/Thunderboldt, whereas that inner headlight hole was used for air intakes on the 427.
+1 on using fine point paint pens. My OCD is going crazy with the leftover paint... Nonetheless, thank you for sharing the tip!
me too lol
@@budddwyer5550 my OCD went through the roof... 😤🎨
Very nice! Thank you for the tips!
so I got my first few hot wheels and I want to detail them. I know I need some fine tipped sharpies (silver, red and orange) but that black spray paint. What is it exactly? can someone tell me please? Also any recommendations for panel lining?
Thanks
You probably know by now. It was a black air brush type paint he used. You can also do a black wash type paint for grills and just wipe gently with cotton swab to remove the top surface clean leaving the black still in the deep crevices of the grill
Great detailing instruction. Bravo.
You should try a sharpie pen. They make like felt tip sharpies that have a super fine point but the same felt type tip, just a little more flexible cause its so thin. That would be great for this work I think, cause the sharpie is so big it can't reach inside the tight ares of the car sometimes.
Ha, made me laugh dude! Totally surprising humour! Great channel!
I'm having a hard time with the Red Morris Mini nightburnerz, lights are so small...
what's the song name when u were doing the paint and stuff on the chevelle
Another interesting tutorial, bravely using the trusty sharpie. Good seeing acetone can be used to delete it's presence.
That is a really cool process that you use. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on videos, encouraged me to restore my cart again, I have done some and have others to do.
love watching your vids, only recently found and subd. I wanted to toss somethin at you. Its been my experience finding sharpies are a detailers best friend. I've found that the silver lays a better base coat for the taillights aiding in a luminescent finish. And tho I did say sharpies are great, for the taillights red I use INC. Megatank. Very deep transparent red. Turn signals front n back I use sharpie orange. For grills, trim and other details which are black even some rims I use sharpie ultra fine point pens. carefully n gently I use a nail file to remove part of the plastic coating around the outside of the point to allow more flow for better coverage. Now mistake removal, I use alcohol towlets you find at any drug store. Ideal cause they don't damage existing paint. Walfart has a really good chrome paint pen. Decocolor premium. So far best I've found. I'm always searching for better products do to the realism I expect from my customs. Give them a try and let me know what you think.
I will... thanks for the information.
Why they don't detail,well,imagine how much time would be wasted in the factory on a 5cm car.
Customizers know how much time spent. But wasted, not so much.
You should get some Molotow chrome markers too for detailing.
How about some fine point automotive paint pens? Also a good place to find the perfect quality paints and tools would be Hobby lobby or Michaels or something like that. That’s just a thought. It has to be worth checking out at least.
G'day mate!! big thumbs up from Australia:) I'm new to your channel and crikey you do a Bonza job, keep up the good work
headof turtle WHAT THE F- oh I'm sorry excuse my poor language but what did you say
I'm from North America
What is you use to colour the light
Get a very fine point Sharpie will make doing details a whole lot easier
Is the sharpie effect permanent on the cars, or do you have to use a clear coat on top to retain the paint?
dude they are amazing great for dioramas
FYI rubbing alcohol also dissolves Sharpie ink, and it's less aggressive than acetone on the clear coat/base paint; 90%+ is best, but even the 70% will usually work fine. The toothpick trick is new to me though, I'm looking forward to trying it :)
Can you paint cars for people who send them to you
I really enjoy your channel. Especially The technical aspects. I don't find that on other channels. How do you do taillights on red vehicles?
You could also use liquid masking from Micromark and other brands for precision masking.
This method is to sloppy for me. All the cars look dirty. I wouldn't want the cars after.
I was thinking the same thing. I will stick to my complicated method of using fine detail brushes.
Custom Fantasy Hot Wheels you're solving totally different problems…
Agreed, they look terrible. No attention to detail :(
@@Ninjalectual i agree as well when i was customizing my
24 ours it took some time
But i can easily mask of the imperfections with a
BIC marker cause it was black
A little detail can go a long way, a thin Gundam Marker (usually used by beginners for panel lining on their model kits) also often helps with tasks like this.
Thanks for the info
Oh yeah I did that on a yellow 2011 nsx in 2011 when I was 8. Full custom from tail to decals.
I'm curious, would a black sharpie work as well if you don't have access to an airbrush?
+KOSMOS1701A
I used sharpies, and yes it can be a replacement for an airbrush in this technique.
But you must quickly erase any ink you don't want on the car, otherwise you will have to use acetone or rubbing alcohol to take it of.
Great video and nice cars
what kind of "sharpies" do you have to the at result like that :o
Buddy you think that this trick could be applied for spray paint too? Have you tried it?
bro your cars look so cool
Tbh I just make the headlights yellow and taillights red and use orange when needed. I also use red and blue for lightbars.
Same
How do you wipe off excess colour if applied ?
I normally just use a gundam marker in the colours i need to detail the cars, nothing fancy
I have used this method before. I also use testors paint pens. They are sold at hobby shops and craft stores
Great tip
you could use micro brush applicators for cleaning with acetone the little details
For the front grills I use a simple black CD/DVD marker . Cleaner and faster then the airbrush
Picked up some great hot wheels and matchbox cares for $1 ea in the batch I got there’s an original 66-67 redline orange vw bug with a bug on the roof beautiful condition no damage or marks what so ever certainly not a restoration car was wondering if you can tell me what’s it worth. Regards
A lathe to make wheels in one video followed by this ?
Will doing this add or decrease the value of the car? I've done this to some headlights of my Hot Wheels, but for my own personal pleasure.
Cool
I have 2 of the Golf GTI that looks wide. I might to this to the Golf. Also the taillights are already red.
that is cool
Great video! Just to point out, when I erase my sharpies from my cars, I just moisten a paper towel with hand sanitizer and the sharpie comes off. That's what I do, but the acetone idea seems great, too! Happy collecting! :)
RacerRyan 86 you could just use rubbing alcohol, that's the ingredient in the hand sanitizer that allows it to remove sharpy
Neobaneo Yeah, I could do that too.
Silver sharpie works well for headlights.
I like Matchbox cars because they're usually more detailed. That said, I enjoy the collecting on Hot Wheels more since they have TH and STH to participate in.
Thanks for the great tips, are there any other little tips you could pass on. Again great vid and nice tips thanks again.
Thanks! if you search through my videos for "quick tips" I have a bunch of tip vids..
Maybe try using stencils to guide the sharpy, a very fine tip sharpy
sweet
I used to do that when I was a child, and they came out less sloppy!
I gotta try this out for myself to see what results I will get
lol the first car u worked on in this vin the blue camaro 2011. I have the same one in Gray and orange
I used the fine sarphie or makeup brushes from my wifes. Thanks great video 🤔
Is there some forum or website where we can share our creations with you?
A facebook group perhaps?
I am on Instagram @baremetalhw... people send me pictures of their work all the time.
yeah because watching these videos makes me want to go out and buy a bunch of cars for like a dollar and see what I can manage with them
Think it's a great quick fix to add more details to otherwise mundane cars. I remember back when I think Matchbox use to sell (and they may still) detailed cars at a much higher price. If you want finer details, you are just going to need to put in more work.
You can also use rubbing alcohol to remove the sharpie which will be a bit safer for the rest of the paint
Cool technique. What's that song btw?
"generic edgey TH-cam filler song number 3". Also known as "Dub Zap" by Jingle Punks, if you're actually interested.
The Thunderbolt would have the inner light housings black, as the high beam lights where replaced with cold air induction tubes. But other than that, good idea.
wouldn't a small thin paintbrush work better than a pen? because the tip of the brush is much thinner than a thin felt tip.
Any of you guys know whats the name of the blue camaro?😐
SaXuke. Custom 11 Camaro 👍 i have 1, is my favorite. :D
iF i WERE TO USE A PAINT FOR THIS WHAT TYPE IS BEST
the blue one with racing stripes looks like our car caz our car is also racing car color blue witn racing stripes its cool
Simple and effective
I can not say i am into customs cause i like to keep them in their original state, but nice work there.
I have that Aston Martin in the same color scheme as well as purple
At 5:14
Well no dip sherlock it's HW I have it too
Im gonna go to le hobby store and buy le small tip red and silver 1mm markers also a black one for detaling lines
I use ultra fine sharpies to detail mine.
I use the Ultra fine tip paint pens
To bad we can't show pictures on here. I'd love to show you some of my customs and how the detailing looks on them. I love this hobby. I love doing customs most of all. I'm thinking about starting a TH-cam page on how i do my customs. There are so many already tho. I have alot of easy tricks to detailing.
Never hurts to try... you never know... you might take off .
I'm still thinking that 1/24th die cast metal Mattel's Hot Wheels toy cars, are still simply the best. Especially when you want 1/24th, die cast metal human and animal figurines included.
add how to make hot wheels front bumper pls
Is this the method! So instead of making it easier by using fine point Oily sharpies you use acetone!? I wouldnt do that
I just use some acrylic paint and a detailing paintbrush to paint in everything
👌👍
My advice start of with easy ones like nissan 370z , acura nsx , any nissan skyline
Etc. you should start with cars that has exposed headlights and tail lights i would most likley advice you to start with a
Nissan 370z
Cause i use a silver sharpie on both headlights and taillights
Then i used red sharpie on the back
i do it every time
