I heard from someone else who did a similar project on this toy say that applying a clear coat on unpainted plastic, especially white plastic, can cause the plastic to yellow again. To counter this, it’s recommended that you apply the clear coat before removing the masking tape, applying it to only the painted parts and not the bare plastic.

As a long time Transformers fan, I'd always just assumed the Gobots were a bit rubbish. But that Porsche 928 toy is absolutely lovely! As a Porsche fan, I'm going to have to pick one up. Great restoration video as well, I'm sure I'll wind up copying some of it!

Turned out great Mike. I've tried making a replacement part before using "Blue Stuff" as a mould and Milliput as the material and it just didn't really work. This looks like a much better method. Might have another crack at it this way.

Love your work! These videos are amazing! One question: I am restoring some G1 weapons with these chrome pens, do I need to wait for a month before I touch them and is the clear coat necessary? I don’t have an airbrush
@MisterBobot3 ай бұрын
Thank you! In my experience and testing of the Molotow chrome paint pens, I noticed that even after letting it dry for weeks you could still rub off the paint or at least dull the mirror reflectiveness. What you might want to do is test the chrome paint on some plastic spoons... do three. Spoon one, test the paint with your thumb by rubbing on the painted surface to see the result after 1 week of drying. Then do the same thing weeks later w/ spoon 2 and 3 respectively. If it seems like it's working and your okay with it, go for it. If you want to try the clearcoat, try that on a spoon as well. Basically, for my restorations I believe the clear coat is necessary but I think it's best for you to do a little testing to find out what suits you. :)

You could've used PTFE tape, aka plumber's thread tape in the joints to thicken them. Also, why not mix the paint or pigment into the mold? That way it'll have the same color throughout the resin, saving you a painting step?
@MisterBobot4 ай бұрын
There's a lot of different ways to tighten a joint and sometimes I utilize the materials I have on hand. Plumber's tape would probably work just fine although it may be a bit too bulky wrapped around the circumference of that joint. The resin I use w/ the talc would most likely muddy the color however black may be possible. And I usually have to do multiple resin pours b/c when duplicating an item with lots of details, it can go wrong from air bubbles to not filling all the details of the mold itself.

What brand of glue are you using ? Would Krazy glue to rough for the plastic ? Also do you have an alternative to LA’s Totally Awesome degreaser spot remover as we don't have that in Canada. Tried CLR bathroom cleaner. Seems to work but it's gonna take a week, not enough powerful.
@MisterBobot5 ай бұрын
I use a cheap CVS super glue. Any type of super glue will work, just use a little bit, you don't want to get any of it on the other parts. For LA’s Totally Awesome degreaser spot remover, I think oven cleaner might work, never tied it though, and the only other thing that kind of works is rubbing alcohol, you must let it soak for a while and use some elbow grease.
