Redline Restoration: 1969 Hot Wheels Custom AMX

In this video I will be removing old paint from a 1969 Hot Wheels Custom AMX sent in by a subscriber.

[@ma_auto]

Honestly you're like the Bob Ross of hotwheels. So relaxing to watch. Keep the videos coming man!

That green paint job looks so good on that AMX. Great restoration and video as always.

[@Brotato612YT]

I Agree

[@davebuts1921]

Mate so what if you cut the wheels off and so what if you use a sharpie, if it works then why not. The car looks great and that is all that matters in the end. You turned a pigs ear into a silk purse, something people say can not be done.

[@mrsam6751]

Classic....

[@carmineredd1198]

you can put lipstick on a pig or you can destroy history but its still a toy car

[@L00PdeL00P]

it makes me so happy watching these videos seeing these great old cars that seem to be just about done living as they were being revitalized and given a face lift. i don't think refurbishing cars takes away the character, i think it adds character in that it was given more love and hard work than most other mass produced models.

[@DavidDonkel]

Nice resto!!! However, as a carpainter I do need to point out that waterbased paints are FAR MORE dangerous than thinner based paints!!!! at the 3:40 mark, you said that the body can get rid of waterbased paints (fumes) more easily. That isn't correct: Since the human body consists of at least 75% water, the body recognises the waterbased paints as "it's own" part. So, the immune system doesn't spring into action against the harmful contents in the paint. So, I advice to wear gloves when you paint, wearing a respirator and use ventilation. For the respirator, NEVER use the carbon filters more than 40 hours after the package has been opened. Please do NOT feel like I'm criticising you; I just want to point ut the danger of using waterbased paint ;) Keep up the great work!

[@baremetalHW]

Thanks, David!! Will update in future videos. Probably the best practice is to always protect oneself from breathing any paint. Will try and pin your comment to the top.

[@Jesse__H]

Also, just piggy backing here, it DOESN'T irritate us that you do this that or the other thing ... we like watching you do it the way you want to do it! The people complaining about all of your methods (the people you keep addressing in your videos...) are the very-vocal tiny-minority. :)

[@robrfoster]

yea, don't let the twats get to you : D

[@colinjohnston8519]

What a load of crap! Water based acrylics a far LESS toxic than alcohol or thinner based acrylics! You only have to smell them to know this is true! The paint that children use in school in water based acrylic ffs! Nothing worse than a self proclaimed 'expert' that knows Jack shit..

[@Y2Kvids]

People need to be warned about dangers of Dihidrogen Monoxide in water based paints

[@steelers9078]

Think about this some kid painted and played with this in 69

[@jugostran]

I can imagine the scene in 69' with the kids arms completely blue and his parents yelling at him with the AMX sitting next to him :)

[@caleblove9625]

Maybe I was in the summer too! "IN THE SUMMER OF 69

[@coolabajset]

Awesome history to car 😑🙄🤣😎🤓😇

[@Kitsune5552]

Ive watched your vids for about a year and you brought me into this hobby and the amx is absolutely beautiful

[@garykornahrens2799]

Thanks for this. I recently picked up about 80 original redlines from a friend and two of them were painted with model enamel. With the AMX and Mustang I was able to use a towel with goof off and got all the paint off without damaging what was left of the Green on the AMX and the Gold on the Mustang. They are far from perfect but will show well in my collection since I didn't have either of these. Thanks for the videos!

[@aladarmezga4942]

I don't really know, that why are your videos so entertaining to watch, but it is. I subscibed.

[@TheKyle75]

How awesome is that !!! Seriously! Well done 👍 I really enjoyed watching you work! Very satisfying to see the end result. I would be thrilled if the car belonged to me 👏👏👏

[@michaeladame526]

Great video resto, I thought maybe the front wheels had been changed but I’m not sure,because I remember being able to pull and change the wheels of these cars when I was a kid.we didn’t think about keeping them in the original condition we just wanted to play with em in the dirt as we never had the track. Shell gas station used to give away a free hotwheel with fillup so I had to alternate with my brother.

[@JimCars]

As usual really nice restoration you are my master, green colour is beautiful , congrats my friend

[@kennyanderson3264]

Very nice job on the AMX. In the beginning, I didn't think you were going to be very successful, but after removing the blue paint, and moving on, it came out fantastic! NO reflection on your work, but I think I would have put the white stripes on it, as most AMX's had them from grill to tail lights, and would have really set the car off. Not a complaint, just a thought. Beautiful job!!!

[@josephlowry4320]

Brilliant restoration dude, so satisfying and relaxing, Hot Wheels are the best.

[@sped6954]

I'm just wondering what she thought you were going to watch. Just the first few seconds showing the before and the last few seconds showing the after? Nice to see the finished product, but I like to see what steps had to be taken to get to that point. If you were to skip over the almost nine minutes in the middle, then you didn't learn anything and the video doesn't have any real value other than to display a car.

[@finty96]

They seem to work really well, anyways, keep up the great work!

Car looks amazing, have you thought of doing army vehicles? Such as the Corgi Toys Saladin Armoured Car. My son bought one of these from the market, but hasn't played with it so I have decided to have a go at restoration.

Do you ever plan on a modern hot wheel customization? I am planning on restoring an orange countach. The plastic is bent and the paint is chipping. Don't know if you could do an episode on a modern one, but great video

[@youngtimeroldtimer72]

Ok ,i dont't like green . But this green is perfect for this toy car ;-)

[@terribelbliss9646]

This is a fun an entertaining video. You should consider yourself a master. 👍

[@argella1300]

How would one make or get a fume hood if they want to restore cars like this or just want to start airbrushing/experimenting with aerosol paints in general? Also just as a pro tip: for red tail lights, Sharpie makes an oil-based paint marker that is (I've found) much more long-lasting and much better for writing on glass or metal. You can get them at pretty much any major office supply store.

[@samb8996]

Cool car !

[@yaaaboiflexi7114]

please can you do guide on air brush skills and what you should do and what not to do what paints to use because i just got interested in the art and i have purchased a airbrush but i have no idea how to use it and guide from a professorial like you would help. Thanks Edit: also how do i put the hot wheels back together after ive taken out the button thingy

[@robrfoster]

go watch his other videos, he has more airbrushing guides.

[@yaaaboiflexi7114]

Robert Foster yes I know but they all just brush the surface not one with a full detail

[@williamaviles2647]

My Friend his first car was AMX 69 Javelin. Have you seen a 68-72 Redline Nova.

[@naominekomimi]

Have you ever thought about trying your hand at nickle-plating a car yourself? As far as I know it isn't actually that difficult to do, and it would be an awesome and interesting skill to add to your arsenal!

[@ThreeDaysOfDan]

Naomi Nekomimi I might do that , I Sell " chrome " cars locally . I spend hours sanding them down by hand and after it's almost perfect I polish it by machine . But they oxidize if not put into s container . Nickle plating would save me a lot of time lol.

[@baremetalHW]

Yes i have played around with nickel plating at home... I get very mixed results.. I am trying to refine the process.

[@KrakenSeattle]

Precioso 👌 Felicidades 🎉

[@LucasDad]

Your hard work and thoughtfulness really shows in the final product. It's impressive and inspiring.

[@rextonk.7439]

For the tail lights i would recommend transparent tamiya colors. It looks better and lasts longer. And if you mess up it doesn't dry instantly so you can wipe it off.

[@annabellenonimous1302]

It's 3am. Why the hell am I here? ...and why can't I leave?

[@Dam1911]

[@adammedbery4454]

This is a fantastic result! beautiful paint work, and I think the sharpie taillight looks excellent.

[@williamlee1429]

The Sharpie tail lights look perfect. From experience when you paint them red with paint they just look dull and lifeless.

[@slothinaspacesuit]

I'm in no way interested nor do I foresee myself becoming interested in collecting matchbox cars. But I stumbled across these videos and have become obsessed with them. Thanks you for this great escape from the day to day.

Is it worth your time to add the nickel-plating on other restorations? Or is just not feasible?

[@sandvichspencer6956]

[@bobby1957]

Hi I've just got a matchbox dodge challenger superfast (white roof) it'll be my first attempt at restoration have you any videos of yourself doing one? Or any tips ?

[@956fgarcia]

Very good work

[@krazy4baja]

Looks good and hey!, a red sharpie for tail lights is the best way in my opinion, I do the same thing.

[@victormorales7408]

How many time expend to restore completely a car? and how many time waits between the final painting and the polishing? BTW great job, I admire u!

[@baremetalHW]

+Victor Morales about 4 hours total wotk not including dry times. You need at least24 hours of cure time before polishing.

[@4FUQSEIK]

I don't own any Hot Wheels, but love watching your channel. You mentioned nickle plating being what the manufacturer used before using spectra flame paint. If a nickle plating is the best to have before paint, why not electroplate the cars that are missing the nickle plating? I've seen a couple videos of hot wheels being electroplated, but not sure if it was nickle plating.

[@georgeshelton6281]

[@brerrabbit4265]

I would've sanded all those little pits out and plated it before I painted it. Any reason why you didn't do that?
