    Great video but I think it should have been done in flat black

    Super slick. Awesome fixes and paint job. Love the finishing powders & clear coat. Perfect ride.

    Amazing restoration, especially the glossy black with the blue tinted windscreen and dust highlights.

    That went from Shite to Shinola, the subtle blue in the windshield really added to the effect, nicely done.
    Thanks for sharing

    I have one of these too. Brilliant casting. I personally would have painted the yellow for the front driving lights and the red taillights...

    • @corysantana6171
      @corysantana6171 5 лет назад +2

      Absolutely agree...painting the lights on both ends would have popped beautifully against that black paint job!

  • @aboutthemetal8783
    @aboutthemetal8783 4 года назад

    I'm glad to hear that you have used proper black BAT paint and not just normal paint, very important to use the correct super paint on a super hero car.

  • @johnhohman7847
    @johnhohman7847 5 лет назад +3

    She’s my favorite Batmobile, I have a little bit of an affinity for this one because I was living in LA at the time and I was in post production on the original Batman movie I saw her in real life, you truly re-created her beauty. So, “ riddle me this, Batman “ when is your next project? Can’t wait.

  • @AlvarezAzel

    Very simple makeover, just goes to show less is more on some occasions.

  • @jasongould405
    @jasongould405 5 лет назад +4

    Cool looking restoration, love how the windscreen turned out, you seemed to have achieved a black lining, dark, mid and high lighting effect with a simple swipe of a weathering stick!
    Nice job,
    Jas.

  • @kroon275
    @kroon275 4 года назад +14

    Great work.
    Sorry to say though, the gloss finish hid/ruined your work, and wasnt in keeping with the matt look of the original movie car

    • @MLife1972
      @MLife1972 4 года назад +2

  • @bridgetmurray1163
    @bridgetmurray1163 5 лет назад +2

    Wow! What a great job thank you for doing this car. I have two of these and want to try those weathering powders you use. I am amazed by how a few swipes changed the look so much. IMHO you did a better job than Ertl because I never liked the big yellow bat symbol on top. That windscreen you did made it look fantastic. This Batgirl fan is impressed.

  • @Scuba128

    The cars in the first and second films were the same, but one had shiny paint, and one was more matt, the lights were different colours too. Glad you used all the Bat products, it might not have turned out so good otherwise!😁

  • @lyricalgateway2193
    @lyricalgateway2193 5 лет назад +2

    Love it! I would have been tempted to use more blue and silver on the windshield because it looks so cool. But that would likely have overdone it. Great job.

  • @bronzesnake7004
    @bronzesnake7004 5 лет назад +1

    Nice job! I dig the touch of blue on the windshield!
    I did the same car a few years back. I arrogantly called it the "Bronze Batmobile" after myselfish! I painted the body black as you have, and the fenders front to back in a gold color. Then for shitz n giggles I threw on a set of red line real riders.
    Bat Mobiles will ALWAYS be a crowd pleaser!!
