I thoroughly enjoyed this! I'm at a level between 2 and 3, let's say. I don't have proper helping hands yet, but have some sticks with some helping hands like ends to grab the car. Double sided tape can be replaced for a "self loop" on a regular tape as well, if you don't want to spend extra. I just use the toilet paper carton without tape anyway, but it's a good idea to also do this. My advice to beginners especially, is to just have fun and don't think you need a lot of equipment to do this. And have patience as mentioned. You'll get better over time. Haven't done a custom in a while and didn't know about the compatibility between casting, primer, paints and clear coats. I actually had a car chip on its own at a very late stage. I thought it was maybe because I didn't wait enough for it to dry between layers, but maybe the primer is not right for the casting as well (but I have no way of knowing the material easily because it's not a Hot Wheels car). Either way, congrats on the video and thanks for sharing, bud! Keep up the amazing work!
@themodelcarproject Жыл бұрын
Thank you for writing this, you address some important points and tips. You can easily go with a low budget, just start and learn. And if you like the hobby, you can step up your game. 👉To paint incompatibility: It's important that you do NOT apply different layers of different types of 1k paint (lacquer, enamel, acrylic). The safest way is to stay in one range, to prevent side effects. A general rule of thumb: You can put anything over lacquer, but nothing underneath it (lacquers are the "hottest" paints of all, they can destroy coats underneath). 👉With primers it's often a bit different, mostly because they are basically cocktail mixes, so even manufacturers don't say (or know?? ;D) what it is exactly. Usually you can put almost everything over them (this is what a good primer should provide). The key is to find one, where they explicitly say that you can use it for aluminium, brass, zinc (Die-Cast-Metal)... or experiment and gamble ;) Thank you too for watching and supporting!
@JuanManuelTastzian Жыл бұрын
@@themodelcarproject thanks for the thorough reply! I'll take another shot at the one that has chipped because it's a very special project for me (it's a 1:43 reproduction of my first car so I really want to have it done to display). I'll try again but with a better drying time for the primer itself and be patient. All in all, the key is to have fun and enjoy the process. All the best and thanks again for sharing all the knowledge ✨

Few tips from my time building models and used spraycans: Best was tamiya spraycans and if you heated them in warm wather you get even finer result. Because of small details on model cars, normal spraycans tends to lay too thick and details dissapear. But best is airbrush ofcourse
@themodelcarproject Жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing! Second that, especially if you paint on colder days, a warm can will perform better. Just make sure you dont get any water drops into the nozzle-spray area.... Tamiya makes very good paint indeed, I wont argue, just their primers are more platic-model focused. A tip to reduce the layer thickness on normal spray cans: use a low pressure flat cap. You will get finer results and the paint will lay down much nicer.

It's way more forgiving in case you make little mistakes while painting, you can always adjust and correct it to a comfortable degree, without the risk to disrupt your color coat. Another bonus is that you make sure that the detailing paint is not reacting with the body paint (esp with candy colors, "bleed" effect).

Hello! I'm learning how to properly drill down the rivets on some practice cars, and I'm approaching the part where I'll start stripping the paint. I quite like the metalic look of naked cars and want to sand them down to make them smooth and use a clear coat as well as painting the lights on the cars! How would you reccomend I go about this process, as well as any specific products to reccomend! Much love from NY
@themodelcarproject8 ай бұрын
For this process you will have to use an lacquer based clear coat (the best option would be 2k clear, but I strongly would stay away from it as a Beginner, since its harmful and difficult to handle). Not that any Acrylic or water-based clear coats wouldnt work to keep the metal-diecast of the car shiny. Reason for this is that the water inside the paint will make the diecast oxidize and the paint will crack. Laquer-based clear coats are good for this, since it doesnt have water inside it. Be sure to make the body super clean and keep it dry before applying the clear coat! Hope this helps, cheers from Germany!

No links, but it's called "third hand" or "soldering aid"

This does seem to be something impressive. Me having quite decent art potential myself. Though I don't feel one hundred percent sure I'd wanna to be doing this to any of the cars that I would have.

What type of paint should I use specifically if I want black and is the tape different from normal tape?

Its always best to strip the paint of then paint it as like brand new. The buffing is essential. The 3 step of painting make better result on the finish look.
