I accidently got acetone on the plastic windows of a car i was detailing on and the windows became cloudy. Anyone knows how to make it normal again? Lol
Nice!I had a similar question some posts ago. Cano answered my question "Try headlamp polishing compound".
After I have tried I was very happy to see the result.

Anybody had any experience wheel swapping newer Majorette cars?
Can't find wheels that fit, most of them are too small and would make it look like some lowrider type crap

I'm tempted to buy this Best death race replica i'v ever seen .
The ebay listing has it up for 15$ starting bid.
Matchbox's size-1 wheels are just a tad smaller than those, but you can get away with it if you lower the car to have that "fitment" treatment. Thankfully Matchbox size-1s are bigger than Hot Wheels size-1s.
Example of mine:
For bigger SUVs like the Dacia, Size-2 Hot Wheels are pretty close if not spot-on. I refuse to share pics because of the embarrassing job I did on it.
That looks do-able.... to make on your own I mean. Weathering is a great way to capture visually-engaging detail, but it is also easy to do and hard to "get wrong".
What's size-1 and size-2? I usually call them 10mm or 11mm lol. Damn that looks good with those wheels though.Matchbox's size-1 wheels are just a tad smaller than those, but you can get away with it if you lower the car to have that "fitment" treatment.

Neat, gonna try this as soon as i get a donor car. Also need to figure out the length of the axle.The size notation is something I made up. I've taken apart many HW/MBX wheels and I denote the sizes simply using "1" as the base size of the regular wheel size of each respective brand.
No adjustments. The MBX standard wheels are smaller than Majorette's standard size. I'd say their'e a tad smaller than ideal, but I think it works out as it helped lower the car.
I have painted my costum Ford P100 as well.
This is how it looks like. I'm not realy happy with the result.
But it is not finished yet. I will detail the car and maybe I can recover this.

Wild guess, but is that paint Revell matt 55?
Yes it is what you mentioned.
Have you used them as well?
If so please show some pics.
A trip to Halfords needed !! LOL look for " aluminium mesh " (approx. just under the A4 size ) Not that expensive either ) Also a rattle can of matt black paint !I've been playing a fair amount of Gaslands recently, but I haven't had a chance to customise any vehicles of my own yet. From what I've seen there's not a lot of talk about making these Mad Max/Death Race sort of custom jobs, but if anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it.
