Datsun/Nissan 240SX is my guess. I don't know my early 90s Japanese cars that well... and I'm not sure it isn't an early 300ZX...

So today I traded some old baby clothes for this:  Branjita any suggestions to fix the paint on these guys? Its a high gloss plastic finish, should I tape em and spray paint or should I just brush, I don't think acrylic is the way to go unless I clear coat after, but what would you do? So I came home and snagged these guys  |

What flaws specifically? Missing color? Or scratches from other figures? I'd have to see close up shots. I use manicure sanding blocks for polishing scratches from other figures off. On figures that are painted and not molded in the color, I start with the kind that are the same on each of the 4 sides because they are a little rough. Then, I use the type that has a different roughness on each of the for sides. File, buff, polish, shine... that's the order of roughness to least. You can start with that type on unpainted plastic and I would start with polish so you can figure out if you need to start with the more abrasive file or buff. It takes hundreds of strokes so... takes awhile.
On the green and white one, I can see paint loss. I'd get delta ceramcoat or model masters white acrylic paint and model masters "gloss clear acryl" and brush them back to looking new.

I changed the BB code to only display it at 50 percent if you copy the picture URL in a browser you'll be able to see what I'm talking about. The white on the chest of the figures have obviously faded from play.
The black figure in the back is another example the black color needs to pretty much be redone as well

Cool Rangers, loki! I had some of the bigger ones, and a couple of the smaller ones whose heads flip into the body to "morph". Never liked the smaller ones, but the big ones were really nice. I always wanted the White and/or Green Ranger but never got him. But I did have the metallic painted ones released after the first movie.

The black figure in the back is another example the black color needs to pretty much be redone as well Ah, I use the proboards app usually because my Swype for my phone makes text entry on the site a pita. But the app makes some pics into like thumbnails that lose a lot of quality for some reason. Anyway, just looked at the pics via the site and view image and damn, lots of damage. If you spray them, you'll actually spend more time doing PERFECT masking and spraying than you will if you hand paint them. You might try some of the gloss white and gloss black that I think delta ceramcoat or folk art makes. I know Capsule x Nike owns some. Definitely brush on the MM gloss clear acryl because all sprays look like you sneezed on a figure. What I would do is just freehand the diamonds and if you find it difficult, use expensive/quality 3m blue painters tape and mask some edges. if you use the dollar store kind or white masking tape, you won't end up with crisp lines and will usually end up with paint underneath the tape! |
