my girlfriend says she doesn't remember giving you permission to post that picture.

I know it's not plastic, but has anyone ever repainted a diecast model? Specifically AutoArt ones that are NIB?

I've done some painting on a diecast Maisto. Treated it the same way as a plastic model.

All the same principals apply. The materials are irrelevant.

I didn't strip paint when I painted the diecast - just sprayed over the existing color. You didn't specify to what extent you wanted to do the repaint (full disassembly, strip, repaint or partial disassembly, mask/paint).

No need to strip the paint. Just lightly sand to rough it up enough to take new paint.

I was going to fully disassemble everything and repaint it a different color. What kind of paint should be used if sanding is used? Tamiya TS-line paint? Or automotive paint like Duplicolor? I'm assuming if I can use Tamiya, I wouldn't have to use a paint hardener/curer. I should probably try practicing on one of my old Maisto models before ordering and spending over $250 on an AutoArt. lol |

Nah. I'm just a man of class and world geography. Also they are kind of an inside joke.

I have not had a good experience with Duplicolor for models. The issue I had with metallic colors was that the metal flake in Duplicolor wasn't to 'scale'. It would look fine on a real car, but on a model it didn't look right - the flakes were too large. Solid colors should be fine, but I just stick to Tamiya or Testors for models. Lots of great videos on YT about painting model cars.
