Budget and Material list for each Level:
(n) = not a must but nice to have

🟡[Level 1]🟡
Total: $7🤑
Paint: $5, Tape: $2

🔵[Level 2]🔵
Total: about $20💰
2x Drill Bits (1,8mm & around 4mm): $5,
Paint: $5, Plastic Box: $6, Flat-Cap: a couple of cents (n), Double-Sided Tape: $2, Empty Toilet Roll & Cardboards: $0
+ Drill

🧠Options: M2 3mm & 5mm length screws, Cutting Board, and some essential tools like: cutter, screwdriver, pliers, etc… are always useful and can serve you for a lot of applications.

🔴[Level 3]🔴
Total: about $40💰💰
Primer + Paint + Gloss Varnish: about $20 (Don’t choose anything that's super-cheap here! Primer must be high quality since you build up your other coats on top.)
🧠 Btw: you can easily paint 5 cars with 400ml cans
Helping Hand: $3, Paint Stripper: $10, Wire-Brush-Set: $6
+ Plastic Box, Flat-Cap mentioned Level 2

🟣[Level 4] 🟣
Total: $1000-Painting Studio💰💰💰
Don’t get demotivated; you can already start airbrushing at a much lower budget. I would go for a $200 Budget if you already tried some Levels from above and want to step up your game. Don’t waste money on tools and jump directly from „Level 0“ to Level 4!

⚠️[!Safety first!]⚠️
You don't want any paint on your skin or any fumes in your lungs. Wear personal protection: Nitril/Latex-Gloves, Safety-Glasses, 3M Respirator with A2 Gas-Filter + P2 Partikel-Filter (those white pads). Use of 2K-paints requires a higher level of protection, you need to inform yourself about the dangers and application.
I'm not responsible for any of your actions.
Note: I always would recommend a respirator, especially if you paint inside a room.

➡️ Why is this video description labeled with "Advertisement/Werbung"?
I don't make advertisement for Hot Wheels, other diecast brands or for tool brands, which you may see in this video. I'm not sponsored by any of these brands.
However here in Germany I have to label videos as advertisement, if I show products or brands (like the Hot Wheels Logo on the blister card for example), even if I bought those cars and tools all by myself.
If I get sponsored by someone, I will let you know in this video for sure!

🧠Read the video description: I’ve made a list on all materials & tools for each level and how much you might pay for a single item.

Note to 16:21 : All paint-coat numbers depend STRONGLY on the spray- or airbrush-paint you are using, as well as your spray-style. Some paints spray thicker, stronger, some other are very light and run easily if you throw thick coats on the surface. It's good for a starting point, but please experiment on that!

Happy Customizing and have a great day!

I’ve watched a ton of hot wheel creators and they’re great but the way you edit your videos and still make a dope car is next level!

[valconir]

Tips for cheap realistic seatbelts, You can fold stick a masking tapes into a seat belts. It does have a nice textile texture after painted. Have fun customizing, cheers

[adeadbush]

I can’t stress enough how amazing this video is. Thank you so much for putting out such an instructive and dynamic video. It is also great to see you appear in a video! Keep it up, love every upload.

[garazul]

Man... I know I'm late to the show... but you motivated finally getting that one Matchbox model car, that's missing so many details and has the wrong color... and fix it up, so it matches my old car, that I had to sell many years ago. Thank you so much!

[kevinu]

Pointers & expertise are much appreciated, with nice dose of humour!! 🔥👏

[DanielLe-nzuw]

Thank you so much for your instructional, inspirational, and entertaining videos. I finished painting my first two cars this week. Not perfect at all, but super happy with the results.

[Ghost_FF]

I customized my Lamborghini and it's perfect, keep up the wonderful work! I'm Brazilian and I can only thank you.

[AC]

This is so well made! I'm gonna share it as much as I can to get you the views that you deserve!
Also so motivating.

[KenTheChad]

holy moly, this is the best explanation how to custom hotwheels so far I've watched. Keep up the good work man!

[potatopack]

Honestly man you are mature and wise above your years. LOVE IT. Thank you for putting this together and I hope this does you well financially this video as it is DESERVING!!!

[alenassereddine]

I watched some of this and got on with restoring one of my cars for a gift. Good video!

[broncoramfan]

Thank you for all the tips. Gonna paint my first car soon

[hachirokami]

Another important factor, the temperature of the spray can. The warmer it is, the finer the paint coming out of the nozzle. Also helps to get as much coverage with less paint, saving you money.

Ich habe diesen Kanal heute gefunden weil ich meine alten (halb kaputten) hot wheels mahl ein Upgrade geben wollte diese videos sind sehr hilfreich von sehr guter Erklärung bis zu sehr gutem editing! Einfach top!! 🤙

[Blazeplayz]

this guy is amazing. I love how he responds to his fans

[thechickenacrossthestreet]

Dude, your camera work and editing skills are better!

[friendlyreptile]

Tell me you are German without telling me you are German! You nailed it :D It's not just the perfection in your work, it's also the same perfection that is going into the production of your videos.

I thoroughly enjoyed this! I'm at a level between 2 and 3, let's say. I don't have proper helping hands yet, but have some sticks with some helping hands like ends to grab the car. Double sided tape can be replaced for a "self loop" on a regular tape as well, if you don't want to spend extra. I just use the toilet paper carton without tape anyway, but it's a good idea to also do this.

My advice to beginners especially, is to just have fun and don't think you need a lot of equipment to do this. And have patience as mentioned. You'll get better over time. Haven't done a custom in a while and didn't know about the compatibility between casting, primer, paints and clear coats. I actually had a car chip on its own at a very late stage. I thought it was maybe because I didn't wait enough for it to dry between layers, but maybe the primer is not right for the casting as well (but I have no way of knowing the material easily because it's not a Hot Wheels car).

Either way, congrats on the video and thanks for sharing, bud! Keep up the amazing work!
