A "little" something I'm working on

[Igor]

I had a little thinned paint left over from the Super Bee model in the jar for my airbrush... So I decided that rather than dump it, I would use it up.

Here is the subject, this is not a photo of the actual Hot Wheel, I forgot to take a before photo, so I downloaded this from the interweb. I had removed the graphics from it many years ago, so it started out plain yellow, and the paint was probably a little worse than this.

Did you strip the paint?  I have "restored" a few Hot Wheels myself but strip them to bare metal first.

[Igor]

I started off by, yes, stripping the original paint. Yellow can oven cleaner made short work of it. Then a coat of primer and the paint left over from the jar. I then brush-painted the bumper black.

I also put a coat of Future on the windows to clean up the scratches and such.

Little is right!

So, I finally got around to finishing this up (Well, almost. I still have to find a small screw or something to hold it together).

I painted the tail lights a couple weeks ago, and today I put a couple coats of Future on it and touched up the silver on the wheels.

Very Cool.... I remember having this Hot Wheel when I was a Kid. Turned out nice.
