Looks pretty good, though those metallic particles are about a scale foot in diameter! They just don't make metallic paints for these small cars!
How do you strip your bodies? I always used a friends bead blasting cabinet but I don't have access to that anymore, he passed away. Will Super Clean touch that original paint?

That's really nice. Trailer hitch and all! I can't leave anything as it was. I'd probably see if I could find some nice wheels/tires for it. Curious...what did you pay for it?

To strip mine, I either use aircraft remover or let them soak in a thinner or brake fluid. |

Not really something you can do much about, other than to avoid metallics.

Apply it, let it work then scrub with an old toothbrush in a bath of water and a little soap. I follow up with a going over with a Dremel wire brush then 4 ought steel wool. I haven't tried the purple stuff yet so I don't know about that. Thanks. |
