Hello guys. I just joined today
I'm new in this HW customizing world. Here's some of my customs. others are in progress.
p.s. that Z4 M Coupe is untouched.
Thanks![]()
Ugh. Why is everyone else so good at painting Hot Wheels?![]()
Quickie. Question is, should I stop there?
That Cougar is awesome!![]()
Thanks Cano.Thanks dude, I'll tag you when we feature it in the blog, so you can read how it came to be 👍

Anyways, nice customs. Keep up the good work.👍
Full detail, including brakes, dude. You have good pulse.
As for the tip on submerging the car in hot water, thanks. I recently started painting my own cars with spray cans -as I cannot depend on Ahmed all the time, you know- and had pretty decent results for being the first time:

But I gotta keep practicing and stuff. Lots of room for improvement.
Submerge the CAN in hot water, not the car.![]()
Dude.
I'd steal that off of you if I could find out how to get to Mexico.![]()
Get one and I'll send you the decal already made, so you can do up your own 👍
Also, what did you use for primer on the Cougar, if I may ask?
The cheapest rattle can primer available over here, with the cheapest metallic blue rattle can paint available here![]()
Lucky SOB. I pay like $10 for paint and primer, and it still doesn't work.![]()

So you're a newb? You're a newb! Newwwwwwb!![]()
Keep letting it sit. While trying to reassemble the car, if you accidentally press on it a little too hard, especially when trying to reattach the base, you may leave a finger print or two. The trouble with thick coats of paint, something aerosol cans are notorious for, is that the layers are so thick it's easy to compress and leave marks.
I honestly do not think it can be that difficult to do a slapstick paintjob on a toy car and not have the paint hold on for more than a week. There is very likely some fundamental thing you may be goofing up on, man. I don't mean to put you down, but I really cannot think of how its seemingly impossible to successfully spray some paint onto an object.
Remind me again: Were you using Krylon Fusion? If so, try something else.
