Gave this recently acquired Hot Wheels MR2 a makeover.

Body in white.

Primed.

Painted!

Turned out ok,certainly better than it was.

Again,no real details besides the jewelled spot lamps,as I really can't be arsed these days.

I wondered what happened to the old, specific paint range they did before they went over to the new stuff. I was surprised not to see it available in the shops on clearance, but the must have thought there was too much to get rid of that way and just flogged it off to this lot.

I liked how there'd be some old colours that must have sold very slowly, I picked up a few 1970s-90s shades. Got to think of something that needs Ford Daytona Yellow! Tempted by the idea of a random 12.....

If you're looking for specific colours from the old Halfords range, lisnaskeaauctions2011 aka LABARGAINSONLINE on ebay seem to have picked up a lot of the stock and have many different colours available. Nowhere near as cheap as the randoms but £17.99 with free postage for two cans seems reasonable. I bought some Tara Green from them recently and you'll be seeing the results here at some point soon.

I ordered these two Matchbox Broncos ages ago, forgot where from now!

Quite why one has the bonnet decal and one doesn't remains a mystery

Universal (I think) Polo came all the way from France in just a jiffy bag

While this tidy Budgie bus was found in a charity shop by my boss, who was instructed to grab it forthwith, if not fifthwith

Ive been getting spammed by Temu with adverts for 'Massdi Diecast' 1:64 Land Cruisers. They look pretty detailed and I think they've got suspension. I went to see if AliExpress had any as Im not ready for Temu uet 😂. They did. £12.25 posted seems steep for a 1:64 but I'm hoping its decent....

I collected this Vinted buy earlier, a 1981 Superkings Golf. I think it was £1.50, I’m very happy with it.
There’s a hole where the filler cap is. Are these early wheels as I normally see this model with a different style.

Yes the white one seems to only come with the 5 arch

Whereas the black one comes with either 5 arch or the more common Superkings wheels with the chrome caps

Came with a petrol pump, you've reminded me I had one of these boxed but must have sold it years ago. Wish Id kept it!

Hopefully I won't get 12 cans of Russet Brown...

My first thought was that I'd get twelve cans of slightly different silver paint. I still might order some, we could perhaps swap the ones we don't want on here.
