I know this is an older video but as a 1:24 collector, just the slightest rash advertised will be a deal breaker. This video opened up possibilities of purchasing a model with some rash. Bubbles over the entire car can stay for sale but for the " here and there" rash, I'm going to give this a try. If successful, the money you can save is substantial. Thanks for posting this informative video. Been wanting the FM '71 Challenger R/T ( my first car at 18) but seems every damn one of them is heavy with rash. Worth a go !! Thanks again.
@@johnmcaleese8459 HEY you got it Buddy! Hope it helps. I've done this to many of the DM and FM. It sucks to have the rash but it can be fixed. Takes hours per car sadly. I heard the rash comes back too. I hope not.
Thank you for this video. It's just the information I've been looking for. Now I may be more flexible on the Danbury Mint Diecast I've been passing up for sale that had very little paint rash. It's great to learn new tips and tricks.
I too have this model and had the same issue. I did what you did except I add a couple drops of dish soap in the water. It helps your sanding cloth glide over the paint better and smoother. It'll also make it easier to polish afterwards. The rash on mine has not come back and it's been over a year. Dig the video.✌✌
Great video. Next time please show us the before as well & also it really helps to wear plastic more so cotton gloves the oils and germs on our hands are tremendous on these cars!!!!
I am a fan of the Franklin and Danbury Mint models, but unfortunately, as you said, there is a defect or bubbles in the paintwork of cars and even some motorcycles, and I do not know the reason despite the high price, especially the new ones. Thank you very much Diecast_Roof ❤

You are so welcome. I'm so glad to help. Someone did tell me he did this and a few months later it came back. I will have to see.

I know it is so sad. You are so welcome. Thanks for watching. Hope it helps. It is a chemical reaction I have heard or not prepped right.
