Matchbox Restoration 22A Vauxhall Cresta 1956

This is a Matchbox model of the Vauxhall Cresta. The very first Matchbox restoration that I did was one of these. I brought it off Ebay and the seller lived about 2 kms away from me. I went and picked it up from him and paid cash. I never filmed any of the restoration process as I was concentrating on getting it done.
It was great fun to revisit this model by doing up a second one. It was about two years ago when I did the first one and I have definitely improved on my techniques.
I hope you enjoy this video, watch to the very end for a comparison of the two together and also some funny outtakes.

Hi Marty, Greetings from the Canadian West Coast. I enjoy your videos. They are quite relaxing to watch in fact. Quite a few years ago, I worked in a paint shop. We sold all manner of house paint, floor epoxy and so forth. My job included matching colours that customers brought in. I did it all by eye, no computers then! We did the same sort of thing as you did. A few drops of colour at a time into a white base. But we did something else too. We kept a colour match book with the "recipes" in them. Might such a thing help you too? Your roof colour might look something like, "Cresta Roof White - 10cc white, (measured with a disposable syringe) 3 drops yellow, 5 drops grey." Then you paint a small daub next to the recipe. Then next time you need a white, you flip through the book, find something close and estimate from there. Saves re-inventing the wheel each time. It sure saved us a lot of time, and also a lot of paint. Have a great day, happy restoring!

@woodandwheelz 4 жыл бұрын

Hey Marty, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not, but if you place the acrylic paint bottle under hot running water or in a hot water bath, you will be able to loosen the lid. For enamel paints, just turn the bottle upside down and with a pipette, or something similar, apply a little thinner to the now upside down cap and the thinner will seep down into the cap, soften the paint and you can then open the bottle. Another great video. I really enjoy watching you restore these classic cars and sharing your techniques and failures as you go. Thank you.

Handy tip on stuck model paints lids, Get a jar opener, or channel lock pliers, for the lid and use a rubber kitchen glove to grip the jar. ALWAYS clean the rim of the jar before butting the lid back on.

Ha, the classic "FIrst Photos of Heaven" issue of the _Weekly World News._ That's a nostalgia trip. It always is when you use the WWN--a friend of mine and I used to grab it every week back in the '90s, just for the sheer comedy value, which was unsurpassed in supermarket tabloids. Both he and the paper are gone now, alas, but it's always nice to be reminded. Just for the record, those tools are technically called "locking pliers" here in the US, but everyone I know calls them vise grips, even if they aren't actual Vise-Grip® brand pliers.

Great job Marty I like the simple restorations. Here's a tip for removing stuck tops. Turn it over on it's top and put a few drops of lacquer thinner into the threads, capillary action will draw the thinner into the threads. Let it sit for awhile and it will dissolve the paint enough for you to remove the top.

Very nice work - looks great. The bent axles always surprise me. It's very common. I would have thought the base - being a brittle casting would break first. Good thing the base does not usually crack, straightening the bent axle is alot easier to restore. 16:10. The vent you mentioned looks similar to the piece which is also fitted to the same place on the rear quarter on an FJ Holden. For paint protection against flying stones, I think. Makes sense as there were alot more dirt roads at the time, in Australia. Even today, sealed roads are only about 50% of the total mileage.

Hello Marty, I restore a lot of very old models (pre matchbox) that often have lead paint. The early matchbox models were painted with lead paint as well which I have found is much less responsive to the paint stripper
