Airbrushing Testors paint with a nice finish

[@zerosmss]

The fine tip Gundam marker is meant for coloring in panel lines, so it's a dark grey that goes on thin allowing you to treat it like a wash.

[@BuzzcutGtr]

It's been pissing down rain most of the day where I am. I've been soaked through my clothes TWICE. And then I saw Diecast Resurrection posted. What a beautiful day!

[@tangohunter1548]

I see your point about using cheaper paints, but cleaning your tools is definitely essential. Great job bub... This is BOSS!

[@solitairesmith3553]

I love that you are trying out different brands of paint and showing the results with all of us. Its nice to see what you can create and you always are looking for new things to do. Love this channel:)

[@shawnkitts7516]

I love Mustangs and that red really looks great on that car, so much better than your first colour choice. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see what you are going to do to that club cab! Blub blub blub!!

[@deepjunkgarage]

Correct, cleanliness is the number one thing. I used to prep with a pre clean from the body shop supply store but I've changed to a alloy wheel cleaner ..... you can feel the difference. 🍻

[@wadevallbona5314]

I love my Mustangs! Speaking of Eleanor...I actually helped build one a long time ago. This video has a special place

[@DBs58]

That mustang turned out freaking awesome for using Testors paint!!!

[@johnlogsdon8178]

I came across this old video that some how o missed. I understand the why of stopping the videos so you can work but I do miss your videos. You were probably one of the best at painting the die cast cars. Hope everything is going well. Happy holidays.

[@TheSteamLocomotive]

I once used TESTORS grey primer to paint the gas cap on a full sized car. It lasted for as long as the car was on the road.

[@DiecastResurrection]

That’s impressive!

[@TheSteamLocomotive]

@@DiecastResurrection Indoors, that paint should keep it's shine a long time.

[@HadleyCapeBreton]

hell ya big blubs for jimmy on this one one of my favorite so far

[@TheNyarcangel]

Sweet rebuild..Blurbs for Earl Schieb

[@uberquellen]

I really like that shade of red. I’ve used it on a few models. It has a great finish to it. The Mustang turned out great.

[@HooverLux]

Wow! I really love that colour! Really nice job. Love it 😊

[@Wanton110]

I'm 99% sure the GundamMarkers are meant to go over already painted items, not metalized plastic

[@MisterLen]

Thanks for the “product testing” ... you’re the best, dude!

[@charleslynnbeier5154]

Nice car keep up the fabulous work

[@shellygenter8585]

Nice shade of red. Fabulous paint job, per usual.

[@notdonaldst]

That’s a great paint job! It looks just like Mazda’s Soul Red Crystal. That’s my favorite color. Now I know how to replicate it. Thanks!!!

[@ericmcginnis9413]

Looks awesome! Testors paints! I never imagined it could look that good with testors! I now wonder if it were polished how good it would've been! That cold be a vidio in it's own, polish a strip of metal, mask it, and then paint with multiple types of paint and look or compare! Either way great job brother!

[@leesantos9711]

What a beautiful glossy look , no need for clearcoat on the Stang !

[@brianartillery]

I use those Gundam Markers, and like them. Gundam Mech kits are usually moulded in colour, and don't need a lot of painting, so they recommend using the paint markers for detail areas. I hate the bright colours of Mech kits, and have always painted them like tanks - mute colours, rust, oil streaks, etc, but those markers are great for other things, and, like you, I love the logo on the pack. A set of fine and extra fine drawing pens is worth having, too - they are great for panel lines and vents, etc., and the ink is permanent.

[@tuxpowerpc]

I have a paint marker that has two sized tips, one on each end. Liked the orange, love the red. Definitely looks more authentic. Nice job!

[@tonyneises5195]

Saaweeeet, love it. I am a Stang guy so really loving it👍👍👍😁

[@francispalmer9737]

The sexy music with the paint stripping off was very satisfying and the car is a Phoenix from the ashes what a scrumptious color. Nice one Diecast.

[@riverdogmapitbull2887]

I used Testors for my first paint job, it came out great. Thanks for the tip

[@9scottman]

Awesome custom job, paint was really nice , that series of paints by testers are great.

[@remcarr]

Dude I love it!!!! My fav muscle car so it made my day!!! Great work as always.

[@cudathehawgjetfixer7520]

Diecast, have you heard of Mr. Surfacer? Its a primer with a grit that makes it easier to prime and sand quickly then paint. It comes from the company called Gunze and they too are from Japan just like Tamiya

[@busterj3209]

Paint came out sweet every vid is a learning experience

[@miyagi_draws]

Blubs are strong with this one. Paint looks great.

[@DiceZer0]

Love that red, I have it also, you can also try Tamiya TS-95 its nearly identical in color. nice redo, BTW.

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

Testors is like Macco for a Matchbox, but you made it look fantastic! 👍

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks Duke!

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

I've seen model builders use fingernail polish and lacquer thinner. That seems like a cheap way to get some cool custom paint jobs, but I never see anyone doing it on diecast cars.

[@revzillo]

Awesome cherry red Mustang Ace looks great 👍

[@charliejames1981]

This awesome ... I always wonder if you have ever sneezed while doing the spray painting and had to do it over again....

[@PacManDreaming]

That came out looking great!

[@leorabanser2225]

Nice Mustang I like the fastback

[@charleslynnbeier5154]

Leo's diecast garage I sub

[@Zombie_Freak65]

Everything you do is beautiful. Love the videos

[@fernandogonzalez6759]

Boy, those markers are made to make details of panels. Gundams modeling kits, highlight the lines between plastic panels making it look like they are welded or make small details in the gunplas I do not think they can be used to paint directly

[@thevillageidiot1655]

Testors Stop light red is an awesome colour to use 👍

[@shortersdiecast4130]

I got a tip from Nero 62 custom diecast, you should scuff the clearcoat before you strip the paint, it makes the job alitte quicker. I'm a sub. And I love watching your videos ,keep them coming they are awesome.

[@Tiger351]

Congratulations you've successfully created a contradiction lol, cheap but not nasty. Awesome result, can't wait to see that twin cab finished it truly will be epic!

[@DBs58]

As always a great video and your narrative is spot on!!

[@kotkln]

10:29 - That's what she said!

[@paulkevinkoehler9490]

You beat me to this!

[@Outlawstar79]

Brorge Foreman!!! the work was absolutely amazing and the Gundam markers usually work better on their model kits for panel lines and details so they show up better off a white or greyish bkground. Cheap paint or not you made us a Masterpiece!....Excellent work mmmK.

[@silaskuemmerle2505]

In my area, those little pots cost $4 each.

[@ScaleStreetGarage]

As always it looks sweeeeeet mate 🤘 Your paint jobs are that good you could spray a hedgehog covered in turd and it would come out like a sheet of glass 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Regards funky

[@MultiJohnnyangel]

You can buy testors paint in large bottles already airbrush ready. I did. I also purchased an assortment of Wicked paint colors. Then I have an assortment of redline shop spectraflame paint and enamels. I worked on several boss mustangs and custom mustangs, but I think I like the mustang mach 1 the best. I also got around to working on my 1968 redline custom corvette. Getting ready to do the polishing. I try to do 2 cars a week, but drilling the posts is still a pain in the nuts. At least with a 3/64 drill bit, it doesn't eat as much of the sides away. Saw a lot of restored hot wheels on Ebay, they run around $30-200. After going thru all the work, is it really going to be worth it? People want cars restored but don't realize that there are plenty available on Ebay, they're expensive, and they don't seem to be selling.

[@wickedz7154]

Hey thanks for inspiring me to do this I been watching for about 6 months and restoring for about 4

[@Mallons1997]

Great stuff! Would dig a segment on airbrush maintenance. Always hesitant to buy an expensive brush because i cant even get the cheap ones clean! Thanks!

[@deandemarest4438]

I'm digging that color.

[@marrow01]

Looks far better second time around. Another great job as always.

[@alkydaklown]

thank you for the info on airbrushes and paints. Maybe try tombow markers, they have dual points. a fine point and a blunt point. Also there's the testors enamel paint pens.

[@crzy4htrods]

At 10:28 there's a joke there some where LOL😂😂😂

[@SuperBadVideos]

I’m experimenting with finger nail polish thinned out with nail polish remover. First test through the air brush went ok but could be better.

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

Turned out schweeet! Enjoyed your tips as well. Cheers

[@thekowalskibrothers]

thats one nice paint job

[@joshuuaaaa440]

Love your work dude ! Can’t wait to see that double cab !

[@styrenereplicas53]

Another terrific video. I really like your air brush & paint comments. So true! Dave

[@williamaviles2647]

Looks Good. You gave me a few ideas too. That putty is it good for plastic models. Tku.

[@williamaviles2647]

Tku

[@BulletNoseBetty]

The first paint job looked pretty cool overall, but the red is RAD! This is a very helpful video.

[@UFObuilder]

Awesome thumbs up good job definitely looks better red

[@MrVolvobloke]

Certain colours suit certain shapes better. This car looks far nicer in that deep red than the gold, but man, that shine !Thanks for the tips

[@wildhorseshadwell]

the real question is would the gold have looked just as good if applied as well as the red

[@kirbybrady3397]

Really enjoyed this video! Thanks for the tips!

[@444customs7]

You can thin craft acrylic paint and shoot it through and airbrush.

[@geauxbearsdiecastworkshop149]

Red suits that car much better. I can’t believe that testers paint came out that nice

[@tomheckhaus7617]

Hi everyone, I remember when these little Testors paint bottles were 10 cents each. As far as the wheels, isn't there something to soak chromed (aluminized) plastic parts in to remove all the "chrome"? That way painting a wheel gun-metal or some other color would be much easier. I did like the way you thinned & filtered that metallic paint. It looks great. P.S. Those marker tips are usually nylon, have you tried sharpening them with a sharp blade, perhaps a razor blade?

[@lancethompson37]

if you electro plated those rims, hte markers would do a great job

[@DBs58]

Sharp looking Mustang and a fantastic paint job!!

[@brianstone9994]

You did a wonderful job love the sound effects and the impersonations. You did however sand away all your filler believe in the dent there again. There are so many people that do this you are by far the best painter amongst them.

[@jordanbrige8848]

I used to use these by testors until I discovered candy transparent red and transparent blue. It looks awesome in my opinion

[@bigwhop136]

Great job on the model. Can you tell me what metallic red is this in the spray?

[@danrussell3439]

Excellent paint job

[@californiahighwaypatrol577]

How long do you leave testors paint to dry? and can you paint on top of pre applied piant without the paint smudging off?

[@SHADOWBLACKs650]

Pretty cool. Subscribed. 👍

[@frankhays8221]

Nice job buddy looks great thanks for sharing buddy u do amazing work keep it up👍👍

[@edition_sixscalediecastmod6084]

Great colour finish as always. I use posca paint pens. they have diffrent size tips.

[@pedrogabrielmejia6093]

Hello! I really enjoy your work man, keep it up! I am planing to restore a 1970´s Tonka rescue ambulance, the one that looks like a Dodge van. I would like to ask you if you know some tricks for it. I have to remove superficial rust and to leave a bare metal surface to paint. Any tips for pads, discs, or sandpappers to leave the body ready? Thanks a lot for the help.

[@jetfuel3053]

I wish you would have drilled out the sidepipe exhaust hole...and maybe file the lower edge of the windshield opening. :)

[@maurecewalker6279]

The paint job IS sweet, but I also like that casting. It has a killer stance with those wheels

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Just out of curiosity, if you mixed the Testor's paint with clear coat, would it simulate candy paint?

[@darkbirdbiswanger1507]

You should make your own car and pant it and stuff

[@sbroadstone1499]

I love my Gundam Markers. I use them on my Gundam kits, miniatures and anything else that I may need them for.

[@wwkdiecastmore5647]

Nice custom restore!

[@R1chardB1ngham]

Casting defects are the bane of my life. I find primer helps show them up so I can sand and get rid of them.

[@darkkiss7247]

Beautiful job.

[@bobt5778]

Well done!

[@briansdiecastthailandstoth6747]

Good job as always mate Brian Thailand

I just started customizing my diecast models what stripper do you use? Really like your builds they come out great keep the content coming!

[@NitrousDiecast]

It looks really good

[@jrsdiecastcars1595]

Nice job thanks for sharing

[@jeffleblanc8850]

U ever use alclads I use 6 different airbrushes I prefer my one badger and a iwata it looks,a lot alclad would work for the rims and they have nice metal colours

[@jameshall4385]

looks good

[@MetrohMan]

Only thing I don't like is how oddly small the front wheels and tires are. You do some damn fine work though! Love the channel

[@strawberryhellcat4738]

Dang, that casting was rough as a cob. Even thinned, the Testors seems to spray a bit thicker - like on the vents at the base of the windshield, where you lose quite a bit of detail. I'm pins and needles waiting for your quad cab conversion, because there's another conversion I'm dying (pun intended) for you to do - one especially for Halloween. Could you do a Miller Meteor hearse conversion to a '58 Plymouth Fury???? Yes, "kit-bashing" Christine into a hearse! Also 3:51 ..."and those things have been in all kinds of orifices" O_o

[@nitrospeed2513]

One bad ass Mustang 👍

[@jaredmciverimagery]

hi what rotary tool wheel are you using to polish glass?

[@Jon.ventures]

Is it better to not clear coat? I just made my first restoration and seems like when I put the clear coat my car wasn’t shiny compared to the main coat color I used
