Low budget resto

Picked this up on the bay for $49. Hated to do it but painted the beat up chassis. Found a GREAT site- to make white parts whiter And here we are so far. I'll keep you posted as i move along with this.

every time I find a deal like that I get beat out.For that price good job.Now run that sucker and scrape off that paint!

The white parts look great Could you please share the details on how you achieved that? I've had some luck (to an extent) with non-acetone nail polish remover, but only on "junk" parts. I've always been too afraid to try it on anything that wasn't nearly destroyed already.

EDIT: nevermind about this question!! After searching the site, I found the peroxide thread and think that that's probably how you cleaned the parts.

Exactly Paul! Well 49$ for the car, $2 for paint and $1.50 for the magical whitner. Next i will complete the rear end. Pictures to follow.

Thanks for the confirmation! This shouldn't come to a surprise to em though, because I found and used this process about 2 years ago on old yellowed LEGO bricks (of all things!). I'm definitely going to use it on some parts I'll be getting from ebay though!

did you use peroxide to whiten the parts?
