sorry bro,
i have something in mind that i must say.
it seems like to you only metal cars can have such finishing and not plastic models ?

Eh?what kinda effects?
d sandy looking paint was from a can spray brand called Dove

using primer will not hide those sinkholes( original defects) on the body. you would need putty to cover them and smoothen out with sandpaper.
wetsand body with 400 grit sandpaper is a very bad idea but it is usefull for removing mould lines.
after doing so wetsand the body with 1200 gritt sandpaper to 2000 gritt so that you will have a smooth surface.
if you attempt to paint after sanding with a low grit sandpaper, you might risk exposing scratches on the body

Bro, where do you get your BMF from?

for 4 years i cant locate where is daisheng at petaling street T.T

hello fellow pro car modellers, i have a a few questions.

firstly, if i want to strip the paint off a die cast car, what is the most adequate way to do it? i heard soaking it in acetone for a day works well.

also, do you recommend applying a primer coat then the spray the colour of your choice on top of a die cast car without stripping the original paint?

finally, where can i purchase clear coats to apply as a finish after im done with my paint job? also asked in context of a die cast car. i know this thread is for plastic car models, but id really appreciate it if you can help me out. thanks loads in advance!

thank you loads guys! anyway, i'm reposting the pics i have done but this is my first hot wheels customization. i did not strip the paint, but i painted over the roof and hoods. also added some detailing and changed wheels + calipers. this is a 1/64 scale car.
