Repainting a 1 to 18th scale HotWheels Ferrari Mondial: Part 1

[@davidsteinberg3663]

Very much enjoyed this video. This is so ironic. I actually have the exact same HW Mondial model, along with 3 others. And yes, I too have wondered what it would take to modify the color and/or interior. Excellent work! Wish I could do the same, but well beyond my knowledge, tools and skill level.

Amazing start. Eagerly looking forward to the next installment

[@goforitpainting]

I look forward to the sequel!

[@L0000NEY]

Finally a 1:18 thank you. Shame about the subject matter, but I appreciate you doing a decent diecast scale.

[@SC.243k]

Very professional work, Thanks my friend

[@GeorgesMiniatureCars]

I don't care to watch paint dry, but it sure is satisfying watching you paint!!! 👍👍

[@petermerz2704]

Looks great. You do awesome paint jobs. Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦

[@destruktor5hundred296]

I just noticed that you use your old paints to hold pieces while painting, which looks like a great idea! If you don't mind me asking though, how do ypu adhere them to the canister? Until now I thought it was some specialty tool that used suction.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Just some masking tape

[@destruktor5hundred296]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel well that's definitely doable, thanks!

[@TheBlueberry606]

This should be awesome when completed

I have a question…For a Plastic scale model… I’m confused as to how long should I wait to wet sand after clear coating ,(3 coats), of Tamiya Spray Clear. I’ve heard 5 days, 10 days, 24 hrs, and honestly I will follow to do as you recommend as I feel you’re top notch when it comes to scale modeling. I love your videos and totally feel your recommendation will be of true proven value. Ty in advance! Sorry I know the question does not pertain to metal, but since this is your most recent video, I thought I’d a best shot at you answering my question.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

5 days is what i have done in the past

[@JoseDiaz-ut6oc]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@Yourdreamgirl247]

What if I wanted to paint it with spray cans how do I do it correctly

[@davidlees9096]

Wot would you have done if that car was riveted together and not screwd together

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Drill out the rivets as i’m doing at 0:38

[@bigben8057]

Hi. Why did you stop using the Creos 0.5 nozzle for clearcoat application?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

No. Just in this case since it had so many small surface areas

[@eddier9921]

Hey man, so I made rookie mistake. I’m bought the parts I need to start airbrush and I assumed that the airbrush and the airbrush compressor will have a way to connect to each other out of the box. But they don’t. I have a procon 0.3mm. The female silver connector that came with the airbrush is too big for the male connection on the compressor. Can you help me? Maybe some links to what you use for your setup?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I use harder and steenbeck hoses and connectors. The shop i bought my setup from set it up for me. So i have no clue on sizes and types etc

[@eddier9921]

Okay, thanks, I’ll look into that! Appreciate it

[@Baskingshark]

Will there be a part 2 of this?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Yes

[@daz1975ify]

Can you polish the white for a gloss finish?. Sometimes I feel the gloss coat is to glossy , above what was on the original car (real one)

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

That depends on the paint you use. The paints used here, no. But if you used a gloss white paint(which is gloss without a clearcoat). Then yes

[@grooveholmes79]

nice! Where did you get that handy electric pen screwdriver? That looks pretty cool

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Links are in the video description ;)

[@JasperStevens80]

Nice job! Do you prefer the PS275 over the 290 now?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

For smaller jobs, yes. The bigger bodies with more surface area are better suited for the 290

[@VIDAMIN-X]

How I wish i could ship off my Satin Grey M4 GTS for you to change to a Pearl White 😭

[@itmustbelove08]

I live for 1:18 scale. I know they take longer but I love them so much. Anyone knows of a channel that works on more 1:18 scale models than not? Trying to diversify my channel watching? Look forward to finish of this model.

[@chunkitbrucechan]

Hi. We spoke about a year ago and you had given me your email. Unfortunately I had lost it. It was in reference to building a scale model of my actual car. I had a few questions in regards to it and also I'm looking for some products from your store for it as well. If you could resend the email, that would be awesome. I love your work and I've been following your technique in building my own
