    Your engine bay came out beautifully spraying the Molotow chrome. For your wheels I suggest spraying a thin layer of chrome on a paper plate and dipping the wheel onto it so the chrome doesn't run into the wheel slots. Have fun with your toys!

      Thank you David. Molotow is great stuff. Thank you for the tip, I'm gonna try it on another Superfast I'm doing at the moment. And yes, too many people forget that at the end of the day they are toys and should be about fun.

    Inspirational metamorphosis PB, you're a genius!
    Next time, can you show us how you rehabilitated the plastic windscreen/windows?
    I'd really like to see how you did it.
    Thanks again!
    Mike

    I love that you used the windows even if there are some cracks in it. Now, even with mint paint and new bonnet it still tells a story of a beloved toy. ♥️👍

    Nice paint job Peter 👍 If you get the chrome in the holes on the wheels, I've found that it's easiest to remove the extra with a sharp wooden toothpick

    Hey, Peter! I had a really great time watching you work on the Capri. It's one of my favourite castings, and I did the same one on my channel. It's special to me because it was my first car, which I drove as a 17 year old. Good times. Yours came out great, trials and all. Always fun to visit here for each new upload. Have a super weekend! 🍁👊
