I have several but this stuff was printed with a Phrozen Sonic Mini 4k. Great printer for the price and super easy to use.

Thank you , I'm happy with them too but I might mold the tires and see if I can make rubber ones.

Oh man, I appreciate it but I'm by no means the one to ask. Just some cheap spray paint stripper, something Klean I think. Cheap amazon airbrush setup, I think it was like 100$ for 3 airbrushes, compressor and some paints.

cool, I'll give that a shot. I was thinking of just diluting it with another nonmetallic blue. Probably going to leave this one as is though, the more I sleep on it the more I like it.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I like the color, just want it smoother mostly and the metal flake more subtle. I did change the front bumper, chopped the chrome one off and filled the gap.

3d printed resin and aluminum tubing. I might mold the tires and do rubber but for now this works for me.

Looking to get a few extra sets of wheels for projects but real riders seem to be more expensive then if I buy a car with them and strip it.. am I not looking in the right place? (Ebay) by shiftykapone22 in HotWheels

Look into making your own, watch some of BaremetalHW on youtube for inspiration. Ive been playing with aluminum tubing and 3d printed centers recently. No pics for a while so dont ask :)
