Matchbox Garage sorry did not mean to rain on your parade, in my own way I was praising your work up to that point, which was very good, as others have pointed out there are methods to improve this area of your work, it is really the finishing touches that can make your work stand out.

I'm sub 1,000 and something. Lol.

It looks great! You did a fantastic job of restoring it.

Very good,considering what you had to work with. Just a hint. If a fine brush or masking dose not work for fine lines, you might carefully scrape or sand the fresh paint off of the trim. Then clear coat to protect the bare metal.

That is the correct way to do it! No super small diameter paint brush could every get a straight line so scrap away the paint from the ridges and clear coat it!

He could try a couple strips of masking tape and use that to paint a straight line.

Great work Jason I have a great fondness 4 all the TV and Movie vehicles and this one turned out beautiful!

Looks great Jason ,,yes the saints car was more like you've done it here , glad you did the red interior , really suits this model 👍

Hi Jason greetings from Puerto Rico I love the restoration and as a fellow restorer I will advise you to use Tamiya masking tape for trims which for my works very well . To avoid peeling of your paint stick the masking tape to something, the plastic Matt where you work will do the job. Keep doing good job love your work.

I’m looking for a similar casting but here in America it’s very difficult to get it and eBay seems to lack sellers of it. Keep the good work send me a email so I can send you some images of what I do. Take care friend, Jesus Gonzalez

Really well done

Lovely car.😍 I wish I could afford the real thing! Smashing job Jason!🔥

Nice Jason! I agree with doing the wheel swap at the end.

Nice restoration

Nice custom Jason. I like that model. Congratulations on reaching 1,000 subscribers mate. Look forward to your next challenge.

Well done sir!

The removable chassis is like what the real Lotus Esprit had, and probably as safe!

Well done on reaching 1000. This corgi restorations worked well. Possibly my favorite volvo. Watched the saint every week with envy

Congratulations on your first 1k and many more to come. Great job

Love The Saint and watched both videos. Great job by both of you! It's interesting that you both ended up with wheels that were a bit large for the vehicles. Both the Volvo and the Jaguar came out awesome. Thank you for entertaining videos. 🕵️‍♂️

Just a note on the side trim, I've used a small sharp blade to scrape the paint away to show the detailed line, then I applied a clear coat. I must say though, it is a very nice job done !

Chrome details on the sides are a tough one, I use a toothpick and a steady hand, but I mask it with some tape and I get great results. Awesome job and keep up the practice.

Well done Jason Brian Thailand

Rob is going to let me take his car out for a cruise. Maybe you 2 guys could cruise around in your car. I like the 2nd set of wheels a lot better

Great job mate, looks mint. That Tamiya rattle can stuff is bad for pooling like that. I recommend a number of really thin coats in a hot room, like 23c plus, they should dry very fast at that temp so its not a long process but much more even.

Yeah it’s not the first time it’s happened but I’ve started to realise it’s because I’m either spraying too close or laying too much paint down at a time. Multiple thin coats definitely work better. Cheers for the comment bud!

hi jason, nice when your trying to paint lines like your trim. sign painter use i stick or rod or something you can brace the side of your hand. the way you were doing it must have made your hand feel like it was floating. the stick or rod will make the hand feel like its firm on something. just make sure the stick or rod doesnt slide. you might want to try that. its a sign painters trick. nice work. just love those volvos.

Nice one Jason , great details . Well deserved 1,000 subs. All the best.

Congratulations on hitting 1k subscribers jason, keep up the fab work 👍 both of the saint build off cars look great, i lightly scrape away the paint on the raised trim to make if look chrome, just make sure to clear coat over afterwards or it oxidises after a while and looks grey Funky

I had the Saint's XJS in diecast!

Cheers!

Great work Jason, I like white on red, the combination works well. I think Rodger Moore would love to sport this Volvo around. I also wanted to invite you to a build off. There are currently 10 of us, the subject is"'shop trucks", and the due date is September 1st. Rules are pretty relaxed, whatever you would haul parts to your shop with or tow your latest restoration to the show with can be used. Stock or modified, a station wagon, sedan delivery, van or truck. And you can letter the truck and paint a shop logo on it or leave it plain. If you're intrested or have questions please ask me. Thanks.

it came out nice i watch rob he is good so i came over to your youtube

Just a side thing: try using masking tape to tape off parts of the car you don't want to paint over when your hand isn't steady. It certainly helps me with the smaller details. But otherwise this turned out better than the original. By miles. I always think the wheels are one of the key elements to making those small castings look realistic. You chose well with the Greenlight rims.

Thanks for the suggestion! Wanted to try my hand at freehand but I guess I was just a bit over-confident.

1K well done.

You might want to try a product called bare metal foil for your trim work. It is a bit fiddly to apply but the results can be very effective and satisfying. Otherwise excellent results. 👍🏽

I just sub, got here through Matchbox Garage.

Chrome trim is hard to paint. You did good. 👍

My only Corgi is the Kojack car, only thing broken is the part of the window that holds the red police siren light. Since I'm not a customizer, haven't opened it to fix it.

The rims are the right type for the car... except for this scale, they are a bit too big, but hey, can't have it all ;) I agree with the sanding trim method for this one...

Nice work Jason. While I agree that your first set of wheels was too big, I suspect this is a casting that is always going to be challenging in that regard due to the proportions being off relative to the actual car. Keep up the good work!

Roger Moore actually chose the P1800 as he felt that it suited his role as The Saint.

Hello Jason, I love what you've done with this Volvo. ESPECIALLY, NOT APPLYING a "saint" logo to the hood//bonnet. This Volvo P1800 is a popular classic car and one of my favorites. I've actually seen the original used in The Saint TV series. The Volvo in the TV series was actually the personal car of ( Sir ) Roger Moore. He owned it before doing the TV series and he drove it for several years. It's now been "factory" restored to 100% and presently owned by a collector. Some personal aspects of Mr. Moores' ownership have been retained during the extensive restoration. Never-the-less...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE use a very-fine-tip brush and paint-over your attempts to accent the cars' chrome trim. Since these details are not "crisp" on the body castings, it's impossible to accent them well. The rest of your detailing & paintwork is excellent ...body, lights, red interior, etc....very well done. Respectfully, Ben

They asked for an E Type for the show, Jaguar said no, so Roger Moore bought the Volvo himself! Better looking than the E Type in my opinion!

Great job Jason, congratulations on reaching 1000 subscribers! The scale of the car looks problematic to get wheels that look in proportion to the body, neither were perfect but the second set did look better. I always liked the look of the P1800, I used to see a gold P1800ES (estate/wagon) regularly near where I was working 30 years ago.

@@DieCastRestos No problem, his channel is a newer one but he does great work.

I have seen other restorers just sandpaper the paint off the edges on the body....then the car's body shows through as the chrome on the side. No need for a steady hand...just be careful when removing the paint on the ridges. You could mask off the body and just sandpaper the line you want.

I like your channel. Subbed and hit the bell.

Probably should've masked off around the trim you wanted to paint silver... Good enough for government work...

I’m aware that you can get reproduction stickers for them. Maybe one day I’ll revisit it and restore it properly rather than this very rough custom!

Always risky with 'Rockets'.even a naff one can fetch funny money.i would have left it as is.condition wise,it looked ok.

It look like a Mercedes Benz
