Project Hot Wheels
The car is actually made by Jada Toys, but I call it my "Hot Wheels". I had purchased a can of OEM Velocity Red paint for other projects and thought why not do a small diecast car to match my own. It's 90% complete as I still need to add some other finishing exterior paint details.
Step 1. Disassemble
Easy enough since there are 2 screws holding the car together, unlike most small diecast that have a stamp rivet. I also cut out and removed the very large rear wing.
Step 2. Fill and Paint
I used a body filler to smooth out the left over wing mount holes. Painted the wheels bronze. Primed and VR base coat.
Step 3. Final Paint and assembley
I painted the interior seats red and clear coated the exterior.

From the side it looks flush.

Like I said above, way too small. I tried that before with other cars and it did not come out so well. It was all an experiment in creativity anyway.
