My first project
2
After viewing all these great mods by different people, I decided to join the party. This is my first project ever so I'm a little excited about this. I hope it looks good in the end. (If not, then there are plenty of these cars I can get at my store)...
Original Hot Wheels Focus
![]()
Plans to include:
removing the decals
painting the interior
painting the wheels? (If you have any ideas on the color)
painting the engine?

painting the exhaust
The time of start will be this weekend when I get the rest of the supplies.

Hi Rickey!
Good luck on your project! :cheers
I did some of the same things on mine although I didn't take it apart to do the interior.
I used Non-Acetone NPR to remove the graphics.
If you take your time and only do a little bit, wiping it down whith a wet towel in between applications, it will come out just fine.
After you are finished, go over it with a mild polishing compound and it will look like it was made that way.
Here is mine...

I also did the yellow one but I left some of the graphics on.

UPDATE sorta late...
So far I've done the interior. The floor has been painted aluminum and the seats and other parts are now blue. The roll cage will be done also.
*Sorry I don't have an original pic, but just imagine it all black*

Right now I'm on the wheels. It will also be blue compared to the original (I don't know what the hell that color was). The problem now is removing the front wheels. It seems really difficult.
More updates soon.
