Asking, since I have never done this, what is the procedure for repainting a die cast? Someone asked me to paint the Triumph black with white side panel (it's on the window sill). It has beautiful photo-etch emblems and decals for the finish details, he didn't seem concerned but I want to save that if possible. Should I wet-sand to prepare for paint, or strip? Are details such as headlights snap-in, or glued on? I have not attempted disassembly yet. It's been sitting around for about 4 months, I should get it done.

I have purchased this model Porsche . The listing says it’s made of resin. I want to repaint the numbers to “11” instead of 70. I have never painted a model car. How can I do this ? Do I need to remove the numbers first ? What paint and chemicals should I use ?

I need help on repainting a die cast car. I am not a model builder or familiar with this, but my online searches for places that do this have turned up short. I bought a new 1966 mustang die cast for my SO. It is metallic black. I want it painted like his father's old mustang which is metallic blue with 2 black racing stripes. Can I just put tape where the racing stripes go and paint over the black? Or do I need to strip it? I have never done something like this, so the easier the better. And what is the best type of paint to use?
