Hotwheel customizers , I have ????'s
I am going to start playing around with customizing Hotwheels and other diecast cars and trucks. My questions are .....
How do you strip the paint ? Should I just use paint stripper or are there other methods ? Is it easier to separate the body from the chassis ? Anyone use an air eraser ? I just got a basic airbrush kit , any suggestions on paint ? I welcome all suggestions/tips on customizing these cars/trucks. Thanks Dan Link to air eraser........ http://www.dickblick.com/zz250/06/pr...m=0&ig_id=1542 I have found another site where this is cheaper but this is a better pic.

Striping paint
I have been using brake cleaner, or carb. cleaner. They both work ok, I prefer the brake cleaner though.I have done a few in the last couple of months so check them out in my other posts.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |
