Cozy Coupe MAKEOVER | DIY Transformation

[@gunnarbiker]

Nice job! When I did the 2 for my grandkids, I coated the final paint job with a Matte clear coat and it looked great and seems to absorb bumps a lot better without losing paint.

How long did the paint last?

[@MsKittyCruz]

Wow. I love it. I wish I can ride in it!!!

[@abigailnr]

love this! would you be willing to do an update to see how its holding up?

[@LisaCatLady]

I needed inspiration. I'm redoing one for my granddaughter. This is SO cute! Now I'm torn between doing a girly one and our original idea - a Denver Broncos coupe!

Darling!

[@adegokudae8620]

I always wanted to do this but funny enough Peopel are reselling their cozy coupes[very used btw] for like 40-50$ 😭 but i have two weeks until my baby brothers 2nd birthday so im hoping i find a relatively cheap one for the project 😌

[@UndyingRein]

Do you know which specific version of the Cozy Coupe this is? I keep seeing the ones with the eyes and I want one like this lol

[@gossipgirl1969]

Super Cute! Happy Birthday!

[@jerellg08]

Hey! How’s it holding up???

[@jadeyoung5731]

Love this so much! Where did you get the personalised number plate?

[@WithTheWilsons]

Thank you!! Actually Etsy! If you search “cozy coupe license plate” on Etsy it will show up!

[@kaitlinvose3342]

Did you sand it before painting and did you use a separate primer before painting as well??

[@WithTheWilsons]

I didn’t use a separate primer, just the paint that was a 2-in-1 primer and paint :) I also didn’t sand it, but I’m sure you could! I just did a deep clean on it and that was good enough for ours! I painted it in July and it’s still going strong :) a couple chips but that’s to be expected with a toddler. Haha

Best mom!

Love this and you!!💕

How did you paint the seat?

[@WithTheWilsons]

I painted the entire car white first, so the seat was part of that. Then I just painted the pink carefully around the seat as to not get pink on the seat. :) hope that helps!

[@carsonoldham3892]

How many days did this take you?

[@lisablanchard8243]

I have a question I sprayed everything white and then I started spraying the pink and in some spots it bubbled what would make it do that?

[@blair9607]

You have to wait a hour after spraying to spray again . But don’t wait over 24 hours to spray .

[@ava3233]

How's the paint holding up so far? Thanks for the tutorial!

[@WithTheWilsons]

We’ve had it a year and it’s doing pretty well!! A couple scratches but that’s to be expected. Definitely holding up better than I thought. If you add a clear top coat, it’ll hold up even better.

[@juliekaiser894]

How did you attach the VW emblem and the license plate?

[@WithTheWilsons]

Double sided foam tape!!

[@achildofthelight4725]

3 coats of metallic paint, 3 coats of laker, some faux leather for the seat and door panels, it will stand out in everyday traffic ❤

[@charissacook9866]

What sizing did you use for the silver adhesive trim? 😊 6mm? I used your link but there’s various sizing.

[@WithTheWilsons]

Yes, I used the 6mm!! Sorry I left that out! :)

[@debbiedohring741]

I saw you at church

[@lukejohnson7850]

Could have credited the original persons video 👀

[@WithTheWilsons]

I saw countless Pinterest posts before starting this project, not necessarily specific videos. Super grateful for all that research but also don’t ever expect others to credit me when they make a toy for their kids! 💗
