Great video...I watched it in a well ventilated room

Thank you. I will link viewers to this video when they ask me how to remove tampos. Great demonstration video 👍🏽

I just wanted to say that it's very nice of you to take your time to do this experiment only for your fans. 10 minutes of scrubbing seems really teadious!

Very timely. I just grabbed a cool VW Beetle yesterday and desperately want to remove the decals from it and was wondering what the best way was. Will give this a well ventilated try.

I’ve been watching your channel for a while and I’ve never commented before. But I gotta say, out of all the people on KZfaq doing die cast restorations, you have the best voice for narration! Others are doing die cast restorations, but their narrations and voices are so abrasive to listen to that it completely spoils it for me. Keep up the good work and keep making your excellent videos!

I've used the Testors thinner in the little bottles since the 80s. Worked awesome back then and still works now, although I think some of the colors are more difficult now and you have more of a chance of getting into the bottom paint layer sometimes. Just have to be careful with the pressure.

Thank you for taking the time to compare chemicals used for removing tampos-that ‘64 Impala was a great choice. Denatured alcohol also works but does take time-and won’t ruin the plastic windshield piece. 😎👍🏻

I dont know why, but i find your videos super relaxing. Its like a zen moment while watching. Keep them coming and i'll keep watching.

Watched this video in a well ventelater area

I worked for Sharpie for a couple years. They have an art marker line called Prismacolor. In that line there is "colorless blender" that is Sharpie base without color. Could be handy for tiny ones. Thanks for the vid.

Thanks for actually, not skipping the part where you removed the paint. That is the oddly satisfying part i love about your videos! Great job on listening to feedback!

Your videos are always just long enough to give great information but just short enough to make me want to come back for more

Thanks for sharing......I had finger print on a Culture Car (from the factory) and I tried to buff it out with Car Wax - Meguir's Car Wax Cleaner I believe......It started taking the Tempo off.... You might try that too.

Great video. One thing I have found that works great on plastic Slot Car bodies is Dot 3 Synthetic Brake Fluid (I have used the O'Rielly Auto Parts store brand). If you want to remove the tampo and the underlying paint just soak the body for a few hours and scrub with a soft tooth brush. I have found it will not damage the plastic. If you want to remove just the tampo carefully soak a spot on a micro fiber towel and rub just the tampo as you did in the video but you have to be careful not to take the base paint off. Again, thank you for sharing!!

When you remove tampo's, have you tried masking the window plastic with blu-tack ( the putty like material you put posters on walls with ). It does a good job to protect and comes off immediately.

Lighter fluid is flammable now? Who's bright idea was that? Next you'll be telling me they've come up with transparent water or heavy lead. Honestly, your stories, dude... ;-)

You sir help my sleeping problem alot people have said but you are. My bob Ross.

I love your videos ❤️

My goodness this is helpful, I own countless amounts of cars that need tempos removed. Thanks for the tips!

From my little experience, lighter fluid works best. I didn't know brake fluid could produce even faster results. In all cases, a well ventilated area is necessary when your work with these chemicals. Thank you for this very informative video!

Try dot 3 brake fluid. It works well and it doesn't damage the windshield

Lighter fluid rules, it works on everything else too. All those 5s getting scrubbed out made me queazy lol. Great vid as always look forward to more mad max action.

Great video! Your editing skills have come along way and makes this journey so much more enjoyable. Cheers!

I don't do customs so this is new for me. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for making this video, would never have thought to use brake cleaner to get tampos off. I normally use car polish and a dremel, but a couple of times I’ve gone through the paint!!

I've used the pink non-acetone nail polish remover on 1/18 scale die cast cars with great results. There may be some hard to notice ghosting on white cars, but it works. But not on plastic parts. It will eat the paint immediately.

Awesome information and thanks for the knowledge Sir.

Yes, I love this cast, I bought 10 when they came to my local Walmart

Tampo... Tampography. A printing process used to transfer print/art to a 3d surface, like golf balls, keyboards, hot wheels. Using a silicone pad (tampon) . You hot wheels guys probably know all this, but I had to look it up.

This is great INFO! For all us toy car lovers! Thanks for doing this! Rock On!This is a great video!

My brother in-law gave me his diecast from when he was a kid. There is a bunch of 90s man chbox Canaria but they all have the goofy tampos from the period. Will have to try these methods. Thank you.

"Tampó, in Filipino culture, refers to a behaviour in which a person withdraws his or her affection or cheerfulness from a person who has hurt his or her feelings." Now I understand! 😹

I’m a automotive painter don’t know if it would work but know when buffing a car if not careful the buff compound will remove pinstripes. Safe and even can do by hand or a mini buffer.

Thank you for making this video! Theres a lot of helpful info like all your videos, especially for newbies like myself who only just started after coming across your channel. I love the South Park Jesus sniffing the marker you tossed in.

Awesome video man. Gonna try lighter fluid to remove the caution tape tampos on the Greenlight Tommy Boy '86 Taurus I just picked up!

BareMetalHW meets Project Farm! Great video and very informative. Thank you!

🤤🤤🤤 the purple on that last car 😍😍😍😍 need a custom done in that asap 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Nice video. It answered a lot of my questions.

Great video as always , very good information , Mike Espo ...

YES, I'm so pumped for the new mad max video

I had the best results with Expo dry erase markers. Using a lot of pressure helps speed the process. Although I did have issues with one car where the surface paint came off before i managed to dig the tampo out of all of the crevices.

Hi baremetal i have been watching your vids for a long time now and have a little tip for spectraflame paint. Have you tried glass paint on polished bare metal it looks just the same when dried as it is transparent, it can also be used to mend scratches and fill damaged coloured plastic. Thanks for the vids from a UK fan.

Love your videos and wanna ask if you can make a short video on 3d printing stuff? Just watched the Mad Max#7 and was really impressed by the 3d printed part!

Great video!!! This really helps me. Thank you!

Very in depth! Thanks!

You got the hands of creative god !

Try applying a coat of clear nail polish and quickly wiping away with a q tip. If done right the nail polish will remove the decals but not the paint itself.

Thanks I own a white 2004 Suburban and I recently bought a few matchbox 04 Suburbans but they all have NYPD tampos. I just want a plain white one like my driver. I am going to try the lighter fluid method.

Cool demonstration great information

Isopropyl alcohol is good at removing stuck on dry erase And permanent markers. I wonder if you would have a better result by drawing on the tampo with the dry erase marker and then wipeing it down with the alcohol

Great information!! Thanks for your research. I have a method I would like to try also, I will do a test run and then make a video if it works out.

This is all about using the right kinds of cleaning solutions; for the Matchbox or Hot Wheels toy cars, removing the toy cars tempos.

Thanks for making this video.

Question: wouldn't taping off the windows make sense before using the chemicals?

It's funny that I got these 64 Chevy Impalas yesterday. 3 of them.

Try using the Goof Off aerosol can Pro strength remover right on one end of the Q-tip and use a dry into puff it up

In Indonesia we use cajuput oil or we call it Kayu Putih Oil, an aromatherapy oil to remove pain and headaches. It works effectively, safe and cheap. Maybe it's hard to find in other parts of the world.

Very informative, thank you

Wow!!...just seeing this, and I've always wanted to remove tampos but keep the nicer paint,...thought it wasnt possible...running to the basement now....

Break cleaner it is! Thanks for sharing!

6:54 looks superb

The content of this video made me dizzy, and I enjoyed that.

I Use Mothers Mag Wheel Cleaner Works Excellent ! No Dulling Paint , No Vapors !

i recieved this chevelle as well..and used it to try out acetone. even tho you said it will destroy windshield and might damage pain LOL i need to try alcohol or break cleaner... maybe chinese lighter fluid is different from states.. need to try out

I don't know if you can get it out side Australia, but eucalyptus oil works pretty good and does not damage the plastics

Thanks for the tip, friend.

Perhaps masking tape would help protect windscreen, but I will give brake cleaner a go and also lighter fluid. Also a cotton bud/cue tip works better than a cloth, but it takes practice, to apply the right pressure.

Ok I know what I am going to do now for my custom. I have a vw thing that is lowered with tampos but I like the base color. I plan on removing the tampos and doing a custom wheelset probably stealing some that look like stock vw wheels from another car. Exciting

I don't know if it would work for this but we used to use WD-40 to take bumper stickers off of the paint on cars. You could also try a heat gun and then WD-40 to remove left over glue. We used to do that too, on full size cars.

You mentioned Car Culture and their top coat. What would you recommend using in their case?

The reason why the isopropyl alcohol works for the same reason the dry erase marker does if I’m correct, with most it will be mixed with the market ink because it evaporates quickly, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong

Yeahye a new video.

Try 3m general adhesive remover.

I just got one of these 68 impalas today 😀

Ever tried AVON Skin-So-Soft? I've used it with good success although I have not tried it on a black tampo. It's ingredients are mineral oil, fragrance and carrot seed oil, so it's non-toxic. Also, works great to get tar and bugs off of a real car without damaging the paint (not to mention it is great as an insect repellent!). Also was wondering if you have ever tried WD-40?Thanks for another very informative video!

OMG: I just bought this one! ;-)

nicely done

Hello please reply on this one! On pop culture I get it it impossible to take decals off but is it the same for car culture (for example silhouette s)?

What about a *Decal Remover Eraser Wheel* used for automotive decal removal? Maybe it won't do the tampos though. Wouldn't know, but you can use a drill for portable erasing or put on a bench grinder to have more control with the piece you are using.

Barametal Gracias por el video buen video eres un genio

Thank you!

Awesome video and sweet!! Mad max cars are awesome.. ;) :)

Looks easy

Very great vídeo! Congratulation 👋👋👋 Parabéns meu amigo, e tome like!

Ive got good results from using a expo marker getring rif og most then a little goo gone to clean up whats left

Thank you for sharing buddy....big thumbs up!!.....✨🔥 🎆 🎆

Muy bueno gracias por enseñarnos 🇵🇷💪🔥

wonder what a small bit of regular gasoline would do. ive seen it make marked letters rub off carburetors

I use easy off the product used to clean your oven. Spray it on and then start to wipe tampo. Comes off clean with no hazing. Returns to the original color underneath. Don’t let it sit on the more than 1 minute. I didn’t and swear by it on the cars that I remove tampons from.

Thanks for info. I destroy a few of my gopd ones with aceton. Before i seen this vid. Am try brake fuild.😊

I wonder if there's any non-destructive method that can be used to simply soften the Tampo by leaving it soak for a period of time hopefully not affecting the paint or windshields? Thanks for another interesting video!

On some of these that take a really long time im wondering if the abrasive nature of the paper towel is doing the bulk of the work. Itd be interesting to see these tried again with a 100% cotton cloth. Id also like to see just the paper towel alone (with water for rinsing).

Coming across a video where you mention "people use acetone". As you demonstrated, they shouldn't and I doubt they did. Acetone is literally the chemical I use to strip cars I'm going to repaint. 100% acetone bubbles the paint in seconds, so to think that a lower concentration is not at all going to damage the paint or clear is highly suspicious.

Love your vids I hope you restore a hotwheels buggati

Just wondering how would it be if car taken apart and body put in tumbler with grit enough to clean car to bare metal no chemicals involved for repaint or customize

I think some of the older cars, like 20 years ago were easier to remove tampos. I used non-acetone np remover with good results back in the 1990s

bravo

Isn’t the marker working because it’s an alcohol base? Just like the iso

V informative video :)

You just gave me a reason to buy the ugly Chevelle as and Daredevils.
