That is one sick paint job! Thank you for sharing, and for explaining the paint layering process too. I need to get some of that paint and figure out how to make some of my cars sparkle! Also, cute blooper at the end ha ha.
Flared hair, flared pants, flared fenders. it was the '70's man. Jimi remembers. hahaha sick paint and awesome vid as always. thank you! keep em coming.
You ARE the Master of the Airbrush! I liked the wheels, in my day we raised the suspension hence lowering the wheels. Nowadays it seems making the wheels tuck up as far as they can go in the wheel-well making the car as low as it can go is the norm. I guess the rear wheel drive had a lot to do with it. I didn't like the flairs either. See ya Tom USA
"Where's my car?" -- I just about fell off the couch. Great episode, and I like the color. I thought you'd get a more saturated red, but it almost appeared to have a kind of pleasing burgundy color. Very pleasing with all that sparkle and depth. Great stuff as always. Love your channel.
This video is still one of my absolute favorites. The blooper reel at the end with the wire wheel and the shop towel cracks me up every single time I watch this. I can't use a blue shop towel or a rotary tool without thinking of this video. LOL
Dude that paint job came out totally badass!!! When you described what you were going for I knew it was going to be awesome and it came out even better than I imagined. Great job!
That color is awesome! I had to write down the color he used because I might put it on my car. Especially the black undercoat with the silver and gold.
Wow. If only matchbox had the enthusiasm you have ! What cars British children might have had . Still got one of these somewhere in the same condition as the project car ! had a good laugh at the end with that paper towel ! Thanks for posting !
I love the casting and the way you gave it some paint love. It needs 70s racing wheels tho. Lots of meat (like the original wheels on this casting) and Firestone lettering. The color tint of the window icw the interior really complement your custom paintjob. Thanks for the video. Greetz, Wolf
I totally loved that build, took that casting and really made it worthy Buddy.from the paint to the wheels,honestly the wheel wells were cool. that how they did some of them back then!!!!
Paint is brilliant! You are a master! In my humble opinion, I think you could have done something with the fender flares. Whether it be thinning them down or folding half wells. Your imagination is epic and a job well done!
This is my all time favourite matchbox car. I had one as a kid, and still have my original one now... although I have picked up a few others since then.
Awesome result, can't wait for you to use the gold plating paint again! I've still got one of these somewhere from when I was a kid, the flares on it looked weird to me even 35+ years ago lol.
You ought to get yourself a jar of stripper like Timerider. Over time, it starts to resemble one of the levels of hell, and it's rather pleasing to watch the car parts sinking into the foul goop. A bit like in 'Psycho', when Norman Bates pushes the car carrying the remains of Marion Crane into the swamp. Your finished Firebird is awesome. The colour and finish are just outrageously good, and it looks great sitting on those big ole' meats. Nice one.
Love to hear you're doing another double cab truck your first video inspired me to do one of my own using two Ford M2 trucks, glad you're doing one with opening doors
I agree those fender flares are ridiculous lol but hell man you made it work . Paint was dope and like glass . Another awesome outcome . Well done Sir 👍👍😊
My suggestion would have been to 'halve' the front wheel wells...just size them down and add the appropriate size tires. Thanks for another entertaining video...and that paint combo is one best I've seen!
Hell yeah man, that is one sweet paint job, and those wheel really complete the look. Love that stance, looks like a completely different car. Saaweeeet!!!!
Get some of the travel bottles designed for air travel and transfer your polish into them. That should help with the amounts applied to your projects since you should have more control of the application.
I believe we all mostly seen the paint bubbling so if you do the soak and cut away it's okay... - Your health is more important than watching paint come off....
I don't know why i found the blooper at the end so damn funny but i did and nearly chocked on yoghurt whilst laughing haha this is why i love this channel :D
Hey, I watched your Chevelle today the one you painted blue. In 76 I had a 1972 Chevelle white on red white vinyl roof red car white interior. It was pretty nice. I was hoping you would have went that way but that's okay. I found you not too long ago and I'm still catching up I'm watching shows you did months ago. That's really too bad you couldn't do this full-time and actually make good money at it. You do a fantastic job I love watching your Channel. Keep it up. You got to watch her for life. Well as long as you do this.
That thang has J'Lo fenders! The paint is Sick! (Not sure I've ever used that term before...) Laughing so hard at that blooper at the end. Can't breathe! 🤣
Wow, you were right, the color is great with the yellow windows, and yep, those wheel wells are redonkulous. Maybe you can speed up the video of the new chemical's stripping process to still give us our fix. "Double, double - takes too long to bubble."
I wouldn't worry about the 'wheel wells'. Those are actually ok. It's the stubby hood. Matchbox dropped the ball on that, the damn thing looks more like a Porsche from the front! lol
Blooper at the end is worth waiting for!
nope, it's a blooper, it's a blub-blubber
OMG that was hilarious
Exactly what I was thinking
I was scanning the next video when suddenly, bluuuuuub, wth?
Yes, that was awesome....LOL
There are lots of diecast channels, but only this one has the blub blubs 🤣🤣🤣
lul
And Jimmy
Love the blubs.
Nicolas T lol (Dutch).
Yo thanks for the shout-out brother 😎 And this turned out 🔥🔥🔥
Shabby to shiny meets shabby to sparkly
Rob I think I remember you doing this casting
@@damianmcadams4253 I think so too but I must have given it away
That is one sick paint job! Thank you for sharing, and for explaining the paint layering process too. I need to get some of that paint and figure out how to make some of my cars sparkle!
Also, cute blooper at the end ha ha.
Gotta love the out takes! Work bench mishaps!!!!
Dang the paint job is so amazing! I have this exact matchbox....never was diggin the blue..
As always your the first choice on TH-cam when it comes to restorations and commentary
Flared hair, flared pants, flared fenders. it was the '70's man. Jimi remembers. hahaha sick paint and awesome vid as always. thank you! keep em coming.
Jimmy's out of control flippin picnic tables
Cool paint job man!
I'm feelin' it.
I really like these old matchbox castings.
You ARE the Master of the Airbrush! I liked the wheels, in my day we raised the suspension hence lowering the wheels.

Awesome job. I've been painting vehicles for 30 years and I just learned some new stuff. 👍 that firebird was always one of my favorites as a kid.

Perfect choice on the wheels and paint color. One of my favorites, outside of the Nitty Gritty Kittys.
Looks awesome great job well done Cheers KC Tasmania Australia
Great paint job 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can wait for the quad cab build ‼️
You have a knack for bringing those colors together. Nicely done “Vincent!”
Sparkly goodness on a bad boy build. Fender flares cover the wide tires very nicely. All looks good!
Love the colour and the rims .they go really well together. From plain blue to badass red.
Dude that paint job came out totally badass!!! When you described what you were going for I knew it was going to be awesome and it came out even better than I imagined. Great job!
The wheels definitely compliment the paint it all just goes together so perfect
That paint job is over the top!!! You are a magician... okay, an artist. Great job again.
That color is awesome! I had to write down the color he used because I might put it on my car. Especially the black undercoat with the silver and gold.
Lol the end is great. Blubs for Jimmy

Fabulous paint! The final product is truly lovely, regardless of the casting itself. You are the “perfesser of paint!”. Keep up the great work!
Beautiful color, love your videos. Keep up the good work.
I totally loved that build, took that casting and really made it worthy Buddy.from the paint to the wheels,honestly the wheel wells were cool. that how they did some of them back then!!!!
Nice color. Always enjoy the stripping and repainting. Very nice job!!
Really nice job buddy looks great love that color thanks for sharing buddy 👍👍
Very nice customizing! The looks beautiful.
Looks amazing man. Thanks for sharing.
kool vid ... wonder if you could make some kinda back window louver for a car like that now that would be kool .. thanks .. †

That paint & interior combo looks great.
LOVE the paint job

I agree those fender flares are ridiculous lol but hell man you made it work . Paint was dope and like glass . Another awesome outcome . Well done Sir 👍👍😊
The flares are proper for the early '70s Trans Am racing series.
Now that is mind blowing paint. Excellent
I love your Channel keep up the good work you do really good job
My suggestion would have been to 'halve' the front wheel wells...just size them down and add the appropriate size tires.
Thanks for another entertaining video...and that paint combo is one best I've seen!
That looks really cool!! You make it look so easy. Thanks for posting these videos.
I liked the big wheels, looks like one of those street racers. Great job!
Esse aí me remeteu a infância. Eu tinha um idêntico azul. Ficou bonito o resultado final. Valeu!
Ooh.. gold chrome looked awesome. Definitely a must do future paint job! 🏆
Hell yeah man, that is one sweet paint job, and those wheel really complete the look. Love that stance, looks like a completely different car. Saaweeeet!!!!
Love it love it love it! I have this car and I never thought it could look this awesome! Great work!
That turned out awesome! Great colour! Love the deep sparkle! That would be an awesome colour for a guitar!
So cool. Amazing what you do with paint
Dude that is awesome 😎👍🏽👏🏽
Looks like jimmy had a wild weekend judging by the upside down picnic table
I love these channels, Marty, Rob, Austin, Jimmy, all great artists.
As always...awesome! Love the paint on this one. The red works great with the amber glass.
Dude, your channel makes my day better every single time!
Beautiful colors, that came out super nice.
First time I’ve liked this casting. Great work.
Your paint jobs are epic! I’m not a fan of the yellow/orange windshields but your work is top notch! Thanks again for sharing!
Love the Dremel mishap. Thanks for including it. 😂
Fantastic paint job!!!
Love the blooper at the end!!
Awesome job! I had the exact same car as a kid. Bet it looks great in the sunshine
As always a awesome resto/custom i just picked up a bunch of hotwheels and cant wait to try myself
Get some of the travel bottles designed for air travel and transfer your polish into them. That should help with the amounts applied to your projects since you should have more control of the application.
That super glue trick was really cool i never saw that before
Magnificent paint job, it looks awesome👍
Very nice, great paint job
Awesome Job!!! Love the Color!!!!
Another sick resto great work
Paint looks great and well done with the windows
You've got awesome paint skills brother!
Great spray job as usual 👍
the blooper at the end made me laugh so hard,the car was like "see ya later"
Looks awesome! The flares remind me of something you'd see on a late-model sportsman. Dirt tracker.
I believe we all mostly seen the paint bubbling so if you do the soak and cut away it's okay... - Your health is more important than watching paint come off....
Very true. Your health is more important.
I’ve wound my t shirt up in my dremel lol
The fender flares were used in the TransAm racing series on the Firebird driven by Jerry Titus.
I don't know why i found the blooper at the end so damn funny but i did and nearly chocked on yoghurt whilst laughing haha this is why i love this channel :D
Looks fantastic!!!
It turned out great as always!👍

Great job on I love the Firebird
That thang has J'Lo fenders!

Laughing so hard at that blooper at the end. Can't breathe! 🤣

The wheels look great 🇬🇧

Some of your in between colors are amazing.
The Firebird of that generation is a sexy car to this day. I still love those.
I started using citristrip on my projects. 15-30 minutes paint is bubbled. Wire brush and hot water and that's it
