GOOOOO KRAKEN

My grandfather turned me on to Hot Wheels when I was very young. Not the playing with them part, but the collecting them. He had a passion for all things car like no one I've ever known since. I'm 44 years old now & at last count I had just over 6ooo Hot Wheels still in their original packaging and roughly 2ooo open cars that I've collected over the past 3o years. I only collect the realistic models, and until the past 5 or 6 years even avoided cars with decals and whatnot. My son, who's 1o, is now finding the same love in the hobby as I did at around his age, & it makes me feel that much closer to my beloved and long passed 'Papa'. When he died, my grandma gave me what is now my most prized possession- the 133 of my Papa's Hot Wheels I grew up playing with. It's truly awesome to see there's people out there that breathe new life into these broken, battered, & abused cars I've seen so many times before & thought there was no hope left for. You do amazing work, & I hope you keep it up, because you've got an instant fanboy here!

I'm not interested in die-cast miniature cars, or restoration in any form. But your video's are so enjoyable to watch and your narration so clear I've found myself watching! No idea how I got here, but I'm glad. +1 sub.

I don't know why i'm here, but i'm pretty sure this is my new favourite type of video

In tool restoration, the importance of an ultrasonic machine can’t be overstated! I use all types of strange things for solvent, from IPA alcohol, mineral oil, brake fluid like you used in this video, all types of parts cleaners and homemade acids and things… Always trying to find something that will attack the unwanted layer while leaving everything else alone… And the agitation given by the ultrasonic cleaner will help it work under everything and loosen it. Even if it doesn’t dissolve the outer layer, something like a cooking oil or mineral oil can find voids, and work under the outer layer that wasn’t baked on or prepared properly. While leaving properly baked and prepared finishes in tact. Love your channel.

God that's a beautiful color. Amazing job as usual!

I wonder if that color changing paint would look cool applied straight to polished metal?

@RichardRenes

5 жыл бұрын

Not as good probably. Almost all of these colorchanging paints use gloss black as an undercoat. Trust me on this that the developers of such paints have done more than enough tests with them to be able to say how it works best .

@tootall5559

5 жыл бұрын

hmm, may not stick... don't know. However I don't think the effect will work as well if it does stick. You could simply paint it over silver paint to get nearly the same effect, whatever that might be. it is basically a "candy" topcoat, so the base paint is going to effect it a lot. I've actually wanted to see the spectra flame paint applied over a car body that is black on the front, then the black fades all the way to white as it goes back, with no definite fade lines. Should make it look like it's going fast standing still.

All color shifting paint needs a black base coat, so just spraying this awesome type of paint would be a waste of your time if done on a bare metal or polished casting. I prefer gloss so it would stand out a lot more, but I use spray cans that I got from Amazon, just look up spray paint. Hope this helps as well.

This is so cool! Hot wheels were a large part of my childhood, I have literal hundreds. Years ago I once counted and I remember it was somewhere around 300-400. This makes me want to go back to the days where I'd play with them all day. This is surprisingly nostalgic

Omg! I think every kid born 1970 or later had this Hot Wheels Vette. I had 3. Painted all but 1. Wow, memories!
