I know this might just be a single person's opinion, but could you please include the electro-polishing footage now and then again? I found it incredibly satisfying to watch and it's my favourite part of the restauration!
When I was a kid I would have turned this into the General Lee if I actually had a Charger in my collection, but I didn't...Being grown up I would rather see it restored to it's original color of Magenta.
5:06 you can use a dry wipe/white board marker to remove any errors with a Sharpie/permanent marker. Easier and safer to use than acetone. Awesome video as usual, keep up the great work!
I really liked the way this car came out. If I were to change the color, I'd go for blue. The only issue I'd have taken care of would be stripping the paint inside the car, so no traces of the old color would be visible. I do that in all my restorations.
Hi there, I love your work. I need to restore a charger, but the bearings are not exactly removable. Can I safely expose the base to paint stripper without damaging the bearings?
I would use masking tape to mask off the little buggers before squirting paint stripper on it, although unless the base on yours is painted there’s no real need,
Really wish that content creators would put links to vids, when they do this kind of thing. Let the audience choose something and then create a follow up video, only to never be able to find it again. This is over a year ago and nobody knows what color was chosen or how it turned out, since there isn't any link to the follow up video. Such a shame...
Hi, I have a couple of of damage toy cars here, when I Watch your video it inspires me to restore my damaged cars, but I don't have the tools, nor the budget to buy them but at least please tell the name of the spray you use to remove the paint of the car...
If I don't have access to paint stripper, can sandblasting work as a substitute? I plan on restoring and customizing Hot Wheels cars, and I want to take as many notes as possible.
So what color did this one end up? I looked for a follow up video but didn't find one. I have one that I am customizing as a General Lee, but will probably pick up another one to restore back to original.
Since you can always repaint. Why not do a few custom tanpos- paint? Orange or any lighter color and since it is. Charger. Add the RT bumblebee bee stripe- black. Also since it had a "6 pack hemi style hood scoop" flat black, maybe add a vinyl roof. Some simple engine painting, interior, under carriage paintings. Underside of hood and inner engine compartment, cowl are painted true to what a Charger would have been. Basically try to recreate a Charger RT???
Great video..... the only thing that bother me is the sharpie. I mean think about it, there is so much detail & then to use a sharpie?, not really going the extra mile are we.
Hey! baremetalHW I have some doubts about the HW restoration as for example what materials I need to be able to carry out the restoration and how are the steps to be able to do the restoration and its already uploaded previous videos you can pass links please and very good your videos.
I'd almost be tempted to make the car look like the General Lee. All you need are a set of jump ramps and a good mud puddle for some good old Dukes of Hazard break for commercial jumps.
Not seen any revised videos so I don’t know the colour you finally picked. Personally, I would go with either a Blue or a Burgundy. As you may know, they reissued this car a couple of years ago in this green colour.
Hey Maddie how I happen to have won the most oldest toys going back to my great great great grandfather and it's completely metal do you think you could restore it I just don't want to damage it could you please reply
These vids are very entertaining. I like watching them. I hear mention about the tedious sanding process quite a bit. Have you ever thought of using a small blast cabinet with plastic media? It should strip something that size in a few minutes. I don't believe the plastic would affect the car's surface, but it would be prudent to check on that for yourself.
im 50 ive never owned nor played with these type of cars,[that i can remember] yet watching this guys videos,i shocked myself and my wife,when she was out the door this weekend,to go garage sale hunting i called out to her, to keep "a eye out for any old dinky/matchbox cars",it was out my mouth before i knew it,where did it come from?this guy is obviously educated,is he slipping in subliminal messages,hypnotising us,or is it a cool hobby thats fun and affordable WELL I GUESS ILL FIND OUT, now to remember where my spray brush kit was packed up 12 years ago..thank's baremetalHW
Go for magenta, as it was originally
The Stig's German Cousin didn't expect to see you here.
The Stig's German Cousin why green looks better in my opinion
Matte Black looks okay.
You watch these too?
My name Jeff sure I do
Orange is my favorite color so that would be my vote.
I know this might just be a single person's opinion, but could you please include the electro-polishing footage now and then again? I found it incredibly satisfying to watch and it's my favourite part of the restauration!
Mine too! Although your final results always blow me away. Flawless work
Go orange and do the general Lee. Maybe a flag decal up top, probably would solve the discoloration issue? Just my thought.
General lee
YESSSSS!
*ITS REWIND TIME*

Choose orange so that it can look like the General Lee.
Never clicked on a notification so fast lol
Edit: Definitely go with brown, a super under rated colour for classic muscle cars!
SideWayz Moose ye I it is under rated
Brown looks surprisingly good on most classic and muscle cars.
A lot of kids here that want the speedy wooshy blue.
SideWayz Moose true but won't that make it ugly?🤔🤔
Dre Peary are you kidding? A nice dark brown looks amazing

Just watching your video now so no need for apologies for tardiness
I’m the one who’s late !
Keep up the great work !
PLEASE paint it orange! Its such a classic color for a Charger!
you're thinking of the general lee, which was actually painted corvette flame orange
Barak Mosgrove I think you should go with magenta. I have never seen a redline Custom Charger in that color before, that would be cool.
Orange duke is life

Did the repaint ever get done? I can’t seem to find the video. Can someone link me it?
do The Dukes of Hazzards General Lee!!!!!! so orange!!!!!
Orange, gotta pay homage to General Lee
Would look cool if you painted the front grille in black
Isak Engkilde yeah that would look amazing

Blue, since you don't have the original purple. It's okay, though, mine's still purple. Great vid. Ty.
Dukes of hazard orange
Came across your channel and love it...very thorough..
Anyway to fix the drivers tail light? Looks off a bit? As for colour ,paint it blue
How do you get the rivets for the body undone and what glue do you use to put it back together
Orange. As the General Lee was and still is my favorite Dodge Charger of all time.
Black. Bullit.
Hey, I got an old 64' Riviera I was gonna throw away, how would I be able to send it to you?
Do you still have it
I want to see a General Lee. I want to see how you do the decals at that scale
I like it the way it is. I think you did a great job on the metal.
Just wondering if you have ever considered molding and recasting the windows?
paint it orange
Orange. I would paint that Charger like the General Lee
Since you can always repaint. Why not do a few custom tanpos- paint? Orange or any lighter color and since it is. Charger. Add the RT bumblebee bee stripe- black.

Underside of hood and inner engine compartment, cowl are painted true to what a Charger would have been. Basically try to recreate a Charger RT???
And don't forget the rear section above the bumper and around the tail-lights is flat black on Chargers as well
link for other video, with new paint?
Hope you get an answer. I'm guessing either orange or blue.
How do i get my primer to stick. I have 2 toned 2 trucks and it peals off down to the metal
orange plz
Magenta, something close to the purple it started as
orange like the general
Purple H
Love the color you painted it. Nice restoration.
Could you paint it chrome to cover then add a color coat?
Blue with a black stripe down the middle
Orange and please put the general lee decal on it.
You mean Rebel flag?
Damien Stone u literally just repeated what he said
There is a thing called the rebal flag dumb fuck
Why not the Nazi flag?
That’s it’s name
Magenta is the way to go as it seems closest to the original color.
When it comes to restoring old timer Hot Wheels toy cars, there should be nothing to it!
Magenta!!
If I restored this car, I would make the General Lee 🤘🏻
Great video..... the only thing that bother me is the sharpie. I mean think about it, there is so much detail & then to use a sharpie?, not really going the extra mile are we.
Cherry red is the perfect colour for a 69 charger
I WANT THIS DODGE CHARGER TO BE GREEN
Do the dukes of hazard car!
Magenta!
Hey! baremetalHW I have some doubts about the HW restoration as for example what materials I need to be able to carry out the restoration and how are the steps to be able to do the restoration and its already uploaded previous videos you can pass links please and very good your videos.
I vote for ORANGE!
I'd almost be tempted to make the car look like the General Lee. All you need are a set of jump ramps and a good mud puddle for some good old Dukes of Hazard break for commercial jumps.
what size music wire did you use on the hood?
Orange
How would one get a hold of you to get a car restored/ repaired?
Orange, but I would leave it. The discoloration is patina to me. I think it looks great as is.
Orange.
Magenta 😍
Can you use acrylic paint on die cast cars?
Wait, how did you remove that pin that fixes the metal body to the lower one?
Magenta like it was originally
Blue or magnita
Magenta please. Also, would you pain the front face black or add a shading?I forgot what its called but you use it alot. Nun Oil or something.
What if you could dip the entire car in sharpie would you get a good result? Thanks for making the video I really enjoy them.
How can someone get a hold of you if they have any questions
Not seen any revised videos so I don’t know the colour you finally picked. Personally, I would go with either a Blue or a Burgundy.
As you may know, they reissued this car a couple of years ago in this green colour.
Magenta (hope I spelt that right
BearmetalHW: Have you ever polished a car with waterslide decals after clear coating it?
Is there a dent on the right side or is that supposed to be like that
blue
Magenta 👍👍 casting came out nice
But does it have 900 horsepower of Detroit muscle and with so much torque the chasis shifts?
orange!
Orange Duke
Blue! I like the original tone. Plus the Charger in the film “Christine” was blue.
Paint the gas cap silver and front parking lights also you attention to detail demands it, and being my all time favorite. Of all muscle cars.
Magenta! Taz car
Orange. Because general lee.
🇺🇸General lee🇺🇸
Mason Moser general lee was part of the confederation not America
that has nothing to do with the color.
if you google 1969 dodge charger general lee you see
and the confederation was part of America. the union army and confederate army.. all part of the US.
What?
This car is my dream car in rl and watching u restore as a redline hot wheel makes me happy😊
Hey What happend with the re-paint video just wondering. 😉😊😃✌
ORANGE FOR THE GENERAL LEE BOYS
Hey Maddie how I happen to have won the most oldest toys going back to my great great great grandfather and it's completely metal do you think you could restore it I just don't want to damage it could you please reply
Hey, i have a bunch of random matchbox cars and I don’t know what to do with them. Is there a way I can send them to you?
MAGENTA
I subscribed and hit the bell.
I think i am going to try doing the restoration on some redlines!
Considering the toning issues, this would be a good car to revisit with zinc plating and repainting I think.
Orange...

Blue hands down it has to be blue. It is just the perfect color for that car. Blue all the way for that car dude.
Is there some way to contact you about a video idea that may require something being shipped?
what's a 'music wire'? or am i hearing it wrong?

Pleas show us your collection of these restored model cars you have.
Was this ever repainted?
Any update on the repaint?
Oh come on! You coulda made the general mayhem out of that!
lauri diked leave that sorta stuff for a modern casting. No use ruining the value of a redline
SideWayz Moose
Yeah, i kinda rushed my comment without thinking.
Now I would like to see what it looks like when you re-painted it.. 😊
