Redline Restoration: 1968 Hot Wheels Redline Custom Volkswagen

- In this video I will restore a Hot Wheels Redline Custom Volkswagen for a subscriber. This car has the metal discoloration issues we have seen in the past so I painted this car with "metal" paint and then over sprayed with pink urethane.

I find these videos oddly satisfying, any one else?
I do too
Godzilla Country Music me too
Me too. Like asmr for men
Restoration and customization always get me.
Me too
Huge difference in the before & after, another great job! I really enjoy these redline restorations
Just yesterday I couldn't care less about toy car restoration, now here I am watching all these videos grinning like an idiot. These videos are really great, and especially now they restore my faith in youtube.
Had one as a kid,one of my favourite cars
thank you for your restoration videos. from the earlier ones to the current ones you have layed out a plethora of info for success.👍
A long time ago, I used to paint bodies for slot cars. A trick that I used back then will undoubtedly come in handy for you. Mix Elmer's white glue with water until it's quite thin and then 'paint' it on with a tiny brush where you don't want the next layer of paint to stick. It comes off with more water when dry. You can get VERY intricate using this method. I even used to paint flames on the slot cars.
Going to try that thanks!!
Haha! Looks like the original owner really had a great time playing with that Hot Wheel!
These restoration videos are amazing. You are truley my favorite youtubers and a few days ago i got the deal of a life time. I got a green one of these in almost perfect condition. Only thing wrong was the wheels were bent. But since ive started watching your vids ive been making custom hot wheels like crazy and your videos have helped me alot on how to restore and make custom hot wheels. Thank you
you can get a tool to fix the bent wheels and no collector will fault you for fixing them. Thanks for watching!
Why is the motor in the front? Wtf Mattel?
It's a custom beetle.
GamersWithOutAReason I was going to say the same thing
That-Guy-With-Shades We know that but it would be impossible to put an engine in the front it's just weird
That-Guy-With-Shades same
Eastwood Unforgiven true
Wow! As a kid I had this one in green. Too bad none of mine are still around. Had all of the sweet 16 and would get a couple every now and then as they came out in the late '60s and early '70s.
Awesome work dude! I LOVE your restorations! ^^
Is it possible for you to paint another Volkswagen Beetle like Herbie?
Nathan Kim that's a great idea
Need a custom barracuda in your tutorials and it needs to end up olive! US not HK please and thanks
Nathan Kim you are a legend!!! great idea dude
Ya
:D
I don't even really care about hotwheels but there is something super interesting about these restorations
WOW! Pretty amazing result for a completely trashed car. Thanks again for a fantastic and extremely helpful vid mate, cheers, Rod
amazing work, you are genius.
That's a awesome restoration on all die cast toy cars it's a good hobby if you don't have a real car
i think you may have sanded most of the detail off. I would do the detail work on this one cause it would make it stand out more as the sanding took it away. Looks way too smooth now. A lot of the body details are gone.
All your work is terrific and well done. I have bought some restored cars that used a painted undercoat like this and they can be appealing and pretty at first, but i find that over time I become unsatisfied with them because it just doesn't look like metal. Now I feel that I would rather see a car with some nicks and gouges in it than to see a painted base finish. To me it doesn't look like a spectraflame paint job any more, it just looks like it was sprayed with a metalflake paint. I like to be able to see the metal under the clear paint. I prefer your work with zinc and want to learn how to do that.

You could smooth all of those pits with primer filler,something usually found in auto paint supply stores and you can get in aerosol cans and finish it with sealer for those lighter pigment colored cars to get an even color.The primer filler would need sanded to smooth out but the sealer you do not sand,you would paint the color after the designated drying time. I have never restored hot wheel cars but have done a lot of die cast growing up and I am a paint and body guy by trade on real cars now and would imagine the little hotwheel cars would smooth out just as well.
Потрясающе!
Только вот мелкие царапины на стекле в глаза бросаются.
My dad picked one of these up in a large box full of old matchbox cars. His one is dark green and the paint is not great and the wheels are slightly bend, but still really cool.
Nice job, but this is more of a Creamy-Pink vice bright pink. Great job none-the-less....
I saw vw bug with a Chevy 350 under the front trunk lid once. It was a 350 with a blower mounted to it. I never came across a VW with a Hemi bolted upfront though. Hot wheels had some killer combos back when I was a kid.
I have watched a few videos. When the metal can't be sanded, you should consider fiberglass, it will save the car if it's in a terrible state, the paint will also be a lot smoother.
Oh my, I had this exact car when I was in kindergarten! I think my mom eventually threw it away when I was about 10 or 11 years old. It was my absolute favorite of all my matchbox/hotwheels. I played the hell out of that little bug!
I still have mine. One's gold and one's green. Boy, they sure need some of this treatment!
I literally do not know shit about Hot Wheels nor have I played with them as a kid. But man, this channel is so relaxing, kinda like ASMR.
it looks great. just a suggestion. I use dulpicolor ground coat as my prime base. far less sanding and polishing. fills in most pits and I think gives it a more original looking finish.
Great job . To all the know it alls out there I've been restoring redlines for some time now and there is no right or wrong way to do it what matters is the end result like this beautiful custom VW
Great job!
GHOSTJERKER love your channel
rookout75 Shelton me too
GHOSTJERKER I love your channel too
GHOSTJERKER im a fan
Yo GOASTJERKER!!!
man, thats a really REALLY cool beetle whoever was the first owner didnt do a good job of owning it! WOW!
Although I like the original color better than the pink, this turned out to be very nice.
Its too bad you couldn't get some custom stickers like the original to put on there. Car looks better, but a little plain.
Consistently Random u bb
Technically he could print something on a printer with a sticker
Flawless paint job excellent work great results as always thanks for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼
I just saw the result of this in a Volkswagen Facebook ad here in Mexico... Congratulations I guess?
His videos are really satisfying
Um, you just made my dream car. I've wanted an old beetle that was hot pink since forever
Wow, that colour seriously pops
love this channel
I realize it would add shooting and editing time but you should show the whole process every time
it's so therapeutic to watch!
I would end up putting out fewer videos if I did that..lol I would probably loose people also as things would get repetitive rather fast.
baremetalHW how do I contact you so I can send you a car in want restored
baremetalhw@gmail.com
I don't collect or care about hot wheels, but for some reason I can't stop watching your videos :)
Wow. Amazing transformation. Do you think the layers of paint took away from the detail? Or do you think that was due to the level of corrosion that you had to take off, just to paint it? Still, a great looking result. 👍
I probably sanded it little too much
beautiful...my alltime favorite Hotwheel....They never really brought that one back...I have 1 green original......rock onnn BMHW
Very relaxing voice and instructing..really great to watch. I have an old friend who is great at this .. restored a Cord and a Paddy wagon redline for me . i also and my favorite Jack Rabbit Special white interior from the 70s cartoon series.And still own an original mountain adventure logging truck in the yellow in really great condition. Still keep looking at what i might do next.
Motor is in the front b.c. Its a modified VW. (FYI) Nice resto especially the wheels.
Is it me but are these videos the most interesting and relaxing to watch. Thanks.
a beetle with an motor in the front........i call heresy
XD
True!
where's the rear engine ? hahaha
@@visiblehyena891 unlike how you talk
@@visiblehyena891 if you're trying to talk *millennial* you're not doing it right
As ever, very impressive. I really do not understand the negative feedback. Keep up the good work.
I watch your vids all time bro....from the condition that car started in, I think this is the best restoration lv seen you do so far!!!!👍👍👍...you rock dude!!!!!
hi I'am Rick Harrison and this is my redline restoration.
It's good to see it come back to life!
Vinegar is good for corrosion removal. i use it on the rivets on mego toys.
One thing you could do instead of curing the paint and waiting for it to dry is to pop it in the oven at 220F for 30 minutes. Works for the spectra flame paint
The CSR Pro would that melt the plastic bearings?
Nytro CSR2 He did that on a Spectraflame El Camino years ago, but at 100F.
Stephen Mayer He would only do the body, rather than the base too.
I always like your videos before watching, and I try to like it again :)
Awesome work, an amazing transformation from a piece of junk to a beautiful little car, althoug, the funny part is no one VW Beetle has the engine in the front, everyone of them has it in the rear since 1945 through 2003.
Given what you had to start with, in my opinion, you did an excellent job! It's always nice to see an original Redline saved! Great video!
I'd love to see a G1 Bumblebee customed to look like a iconic hot wheels car. Or Herbie.
I just saw a video that said you couldn't do anything about a yellow windshield. I think there's a way to fix that. I'm a big sneaker collector and I love to restore sneakers. Sometimes part of the translucent sole on Jordan's gets yellow(something that can't be wiped off) so we use 40 volume cream salon care. Put a small layer on the soles, cover it with plastic wrap, and set it out in the sun. I don't know why it works but it does. Just a thought. Thought it might help you.
A learning moment: would it have ended up looking any different if you had zinc-plated it? Can you electro-polish and zinc-plate? I'm not second-guessing you. Thanks for the info and thanks for the videos!
Wow! What a beautiful difference!!
Jeez - a brand new build and you went and dinged up the decklid!
Looks good! I would have liked to see how it would have done with more electro polishing though.
Amazing vid I recommend steal wool after sanding to get the paint to stick
You do awesome restorations on Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars.
i am from brazil and i love your job, continue making more projects, you are amazing...
I really like the attention to detail, you're awesome!
I bet the collector had an obsession with monster trucks cuz the bug is REKT
How about painting around the doors and motor hood with some black before clear coating. Love your work.
I'd love to see a charger or challenger!
you have inspired me to restore my own vintage hot wheels, i just restored poison pinto from 1978
That motor is sooooooo cute
Amazing transformation.
love your restorations and custom videos
I know nothing of restoring Hot Wheels but I do build scale model cars and I would guess that if you were to trace lines with a hobby knife Into the Grey paint before the final color these date lines would show up a lot better giving more detail such as cutting in Hood lines door lines and such.
Excellent. Good video production. Concise and the project moves along well. Bravo!
It would've been a good idea to use the new lazer cut decals on this car, even though the car is very little, it lacks some details on the body, so you can compensate for that. Cheers!
I agree but the person who sent it to me wanted it original..
nice restauration i love bugs..
Excellent restoration! Very smooth! 👍🏽
I'd use multiple coats of an Etching Primer to fill in all that pitting and or gouging.
slug bugg!!! 😆💪✌
Honestly I like the bare metal instead of metal paint. Even with discoloration. I need to buy a lot of beaters and try restoring. I've already started looking on eBay for some to try your methods on. Looks great and keep it up!! Can't wait to see which redline is next!!!
The flake in the last video was just like the look on two of my real world past vehicles... I dug it... 68RT charger that was plum crazy purple, and a 68 mustang fastback that was black
the Volkswagen not have the motor on the back side
For future ref try an acid etch primer - it bonds the primer to metal.
Were the headlights originally painted over like that? I feel
like id love to see them done in a bright yellow
Dude I love these videos. Keep them coming!
finish is in the detail, pink headlights!
Don't know a whole lot about Hot Wheels but a hell of a lot about real car painting repair and detailing. You may want to try simple rustoleum` or Duplicolor gloss silver non metallic it's very close to original metal color. Sand with 1000 repaint sand 1000 and 1000 flexible sponge till perfectly smooth then top coat. If you need to use a lacquer topcoat you need lacquer or acrylic enamel primer / undercoat. Duplicolor is probably safest bet. If any danger of a kid actually playing with the toy, use a gloss clear polyurethane top coat
Thanks! I have the Duplicolor gloss silver in the lineup and will give that a try.
The Duplicolor is what I use for my undercoats......
Forgot another simple but important thing. It's important to use a tack rag. The sticky cloth picks up fine sanding dust that otherwise can't be removed due to static cling. Available where ever paint is sold.
this is one of my favourites ❤ videos that is i don't really like beatles that much.
whats up brother when are u going to do another restoration video i enjoy them alot makes me happy to see old cars come back to life.😊👍
How can I contact you ? I have several corgy cars that could use Restoration. I'd love to have my old cars back to original condition, if possible?
Lou Stefanou, shoot him an email!
Seemed almost spot on but maybe a little too dark.. It seems like there is a dark velvety effect.. Other than that great..
Why does this Beetle have a front engine?
Seems wrong :P
I have a gtx that is blue. I hope you can fix it. It is in decent shape with dinged up paint. Can you re paint and fix it. I would like it the original blue paint
Cool video as usual. Mad Max up next? Yay!
Are these cars made of alluminum, pot metal, or magnesium?
ZAMAC or known as (Pot Metal) zink, aluminium, magnesium, and copper.
Try spectra chrome it's a water base chrome system with a mirror finish I think that would look great for the spectra paint
Great ,, Another car saved,,,
Cool vídeo tanks for shared
Question, I tried a different method in creating a custom paint job. What I did was after stripping the paint from a 55' Bel-air Gasser, I painted it with an enamal Chrome paint "Dupli-color" once dried I hit it with a Acrylic Spectra-flame Orange and let it dry for a few days. After it dried I used Krylon Gloss Clear Coat and the instant I sprayed it the spectra-flame orange started to bubble up and peel. I had never seen this before. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.
Nice job! Paint looks pretty close to what was left of the original.
