Unbelievable. Of all the channels that could refer to Techmoan, it's the Hot Wheels channel that does it first. I firmly enjoy your content. I think the schedule you release on is more generous than we deserve. These videos are incredibly high quality.

I think the clear coat is a bit too thick, as it dulls the shine of the chrome underneath. Good chrome should be mirror like and there just isn't a good way to clear coat chrome paint. Chrome paint effect is usually done as a thin mist layer on top of high gloss black enamel I suspect your liquid chrome was hard to work with was because you relied on the paint itself to self level, rather than using a high gloss black to be the perfectly smooth surface which the chrome paint just sits on. I personally like using alclad chrome paints because if the surface prep is done well then you can get an absolutely gorgeous mirror chrome that is indistinguishable from the real thing, but is very fragile.

I want to say fantastic work. I understand the complexity to getting a chrome finish. I hate to say it that the ink does not give a similar effect that real chrome has. Chrome has warm brown tones and cool blue tones within it. I think it would be interesting if you prepared a car to be sent out and chrome finished by a chrome shop, to compare the difference between what has been done. A model that has been fully stripped down to its bear metal. Also I am a big fan of that Datsun at the end, I would love to see one restored or even customized, I need to get my hands on one. Anyways thanks and keep doing what you are doing you are very skilled at what you do, and can't wait for the next video.

That's a really great result! It's not quite as truly shiny as the chrome, certainly, but the clear coat really gets it close.

Hot Wheels were always the most expensive small toy cars in the UK back in the 1970s. I had dozens of cars, mostly Corgi Rockets and Matchbox, but very few Hot Wheels, no more than two or three. I bought them myself out of my weekly pocket money - and they certainly didn't seem inexpensive!

My personal opinion? The original state shows how cheap and badly these cars where made at the time. Compare them with the original 60-ties Matchbox models and you'll emidiately see what I mean. So any improvemenr basically takes them closer to how they should have been from the start. But it's all a matter of taste, I gues. For you it's pobably the nostalgia more then anything else. It's after all part of the period when full scale American car production also went down the drain. Or is that a bit too cynical? :-)

Looks really good. It is a little more satin than the original superchromes however considering the process you used I think it looks fantastic. Seems like you tried or mentioned trying a chrome dipping method at one time? I could be thinking of someone else that told me that but seems like I remember you getting a near mirror finish by using a method other than airbrushing. I definitely remember you polishing a car(s) to mirror finishes and man they were total mirrors however I guess you have to have a good canvas to start with to use the polishing method. I had a friend tell me he used something called VHT Chrome Plate Finish which I believe is an epoxy based product, anyway he said it took him several attempts and his final coat had to be a wet coat to get the result he was looking for, he also said there was a fine line between not wet enough and then causing paint to run. I think he sprayed it right out of the rattle can. I have considered trying Caswell's "plug n plate" kit from Amazon but at around forty bucks I am a lil hesitant.

The windshield clearly has a curve on the top, like it wasn't made for that car. That's probably why it is hard to put back together. Maybe you could try "mold" it copying the shape of the car, by making a negative with some silicone, and later make the shape with plaster on top of that silicone negative, and with some heat, bend the plastic of the windshield, to reshape it onto the plaster copy.
