paint job slot car / making a slot car

[@saleemwaheed9956]

Very impressive video. Makes you appreciate the wonderful cars we can just go and purchase. All the specialized tools like that mini vacuum and air brush aint just layin around the house.

[@johncahill3849]

Nice video. And nice to see that old Badger 150, I used one of them forever. My advice is to upgrade to an Iwata Revolution SAR….and consider an Iwata Revolution BR for fine detail. You have a good hand but you'll be amazed how much more control you'll have (and shoot at more like 18 psi). I can tell you're more of artist than a racer though….all that prep work and 2000 grit sanding only to smash into a wall and drop to the floor on the first hot lap (sorry, just kidding).

That funny I've started collecting since Mid 2009. Not got as many as you though but its expanding quite quickly. (Yes I am from the UK) And thanks good to know your going to be watching.

[@SlotnerdDe]

Perfekt gemachtes Video! Das Auto schaut natürlich auch gut aus.

[@kirfin]

Danke! Thanks a lot! ...

[@jeffhenry7306]

I have some old Aurora HO Scale slot cars that I want to install new bumpers and wind shields on them. The soldering iron that I have does not have the flat tip that the solder iron in the video does. Also I wonder if this solder iron is adjustable temperature ?

[@GHOSTJERKER]

Excellent tutorial

[@Dmooreslotreviews]

Now thats a collection

[@kenlindsay3396]

Kirfin, well documented, but I have to wonder are you a professional hobbyist? You have remarkable skills and you're very well setup with equipment. Extraordinary job.

[@kirfin]

Hello Ken! Thanks! ... I'm just an artist ...

[@subaruthug]

Why would you use a power tool to screw a plastic chassis to a plastic body? That seems like massive overkill?

[@murlhaggard]

Super Info, danke. Gibt es eine Marke Petroleum Benzin Sie hier in Deutschland empfehlen koennen? VG

[@kirfin]

Hallo, eigentlich nicht. Normales 'Waschbenzin' ...

[@goldenboyNJ]

What if you wanna repaint an old slack car do you have to remove all the paint 1st or just paint over it what's the process thanks

[@kirfin]

I would recommend always to remove older paint, to get the raw body ... then to start completely a new paint job. It's worth it, for the better result ...

[@Dmooreslotreviews]

Awesome video

[@kirfin]

Carrera scale 1:32 Audi R8

[@LeoKin]

Excelente trabajo, gracias por compartir!

[@MrMackanno]

The most I've done is replacing the old chip on some 1/32 Evolution Pro-X with the new Digital ones. :(

[@2264ish]

Where do you live and how much do you charge to paint a slot car?

[@cassinesevincenzo]

Hello! Great Job!!! To wash the kit uses a simple sponge or an abrasive sponge?

[@southjerseysound7340]

You use a abrasive cleanser,a sponge is too rough all you want is the slightest bit to make the paint adhere properly and make sure its very clean.

[@shockwave5150]

Outstanding!

[@jorgematenuno9323]

really excellent!!!!!

[@kirfin]

Thanks, Jorge!

[@michaelmeisman4731]

You look like Emerson in the opening segment

[@handsonslotcar4256]

I love this vid, pro+++

[@kirfin]

Hi! Thanks a lot! :-)

[@TransistorBased]

Do you do commissioned work?

[@kirfin]

Sorry ... No ...

[@silentstormstudios]

very nice job, but seems like an awful lot of work for a car that will inevitably be crashed repeatedly. I think i’ll stick to my factory paint jobs for that reason.

[@stephaneqc19]

nice vid

[@melihspots7939]

Kirfin i Want to ask these white kits are they revel kits or specially for slot car ps I heard you are German so if yes you can type German if it is easier

[@kirfin]

Hello FELTBMXFAN, das verwendete 'White Kit' war von CARRERA. Neue Kits werden nicht mehr angeboten. Es finden sich aber noch genügend solcher Rohkarossen auf diversen Internetplattformen ...

[@melihspots7939]

kirfin danke. Schönen Tag noch

[@coverts5t]

angelo luis... I tried the facebook link below and it didn't work. Do you still have any cars for sale?

[@kirfin]

No ...

[@4apples]

Where can you buy these non painted slot cars?

[@kirfin]

This was a white kit from Carrera. I think, they are sold out since many months ...

[@natashatyner]

i will like to get a kit and chassis along with extra tires

[@Joop.23-2-63]

I bet there are some slotraceshops in your country. the brand 'SLOT IT' also has nice white kits.

[@spoon929]

[@Odessa45]
