my favourite car, but ricetacular and chipped and scarred from the kids playing, so I stripped it down to bare metal and repainted it

So I painted it white, bit bland an in need of some accent colours. And of course, white wheels :D

Looks like I need to do some touch up, but silver headlights, red taillights, and red dots on the H symbols on wheels and grill, you know just to match my real car :D

ok, I gave it back to the kids, it's not like I would play with toys... that'd be lame

Hey on a totally random note: I just dropped my tablet. When I picked it up the browser was sideways ( is the correct way to take potato movies and pictures). I have always viewed in portrait mode and had no " expand button". I noticed I had the expand button! Your post has saved my life. I always hated downloading pic because they weren't always best resolution for my monitor at work. It made me crazy.

I like the SIR paint though. I may have to do that once the kids have killed theirs...

Now I can get pictures when I want!

even without the expand, you can do a copy of the image location (right click on image) and change the URL to original.jpg and you can get it at its original resolution

Hey, somebody else customs these things.

I've painted over a few Hot Wheels in my time, albeit just to get out a weird design theme out of my head (black-out, tribals...)

You sure that's a Matchbox? Never seen it to be honest.

it's not, hence the "quotes" around the namebrand that is now used to refer to many small car types. Pretty sure the brand is actually Revell

I have a little Hotwheels Civic Coupe mounted down by the speedo cluster , I was actually considering repainting it white to match my own. Just wish it didn't have the ricer bodykit
