Hot Wheels Ranger Raptor

[Daniel Scarbrough]

Ordered one from eBay to avoid WalMart shoppers. Now to see if I can find a Hotpepper Red paint. Debating having the "FORD" on my Raptor grill color matched to my truck and surround in magnetic. Maybe they can spray it if I go that route.

Just ordered a couple...now to find the right color blue

Lightning blue base coat. Any automotive shop can make it for you and put it in an aerosol can. You may want to go with a 1K system instead of 2K.
If you can’t find go to www.66autocolor.com. Give them your paint code.

I bet that's easier than finding Saber.

Fair point and most likely true...lol

Well, we seem to have lots of options - I'm thinking whatever I have left over I'll just spray the letters to my yet-unpurchased Raptor grill.

As @VGKRanger29 said in his post, he went "full dork" on his, I figured at least one of y'all would go that route.
Here's one of many things I have gone "full dork" on to the tune of about $200.....my son told me to "let you're inner nerd fly"

Nice P-38! Nothing wrong with going full-nerd on a model.

Did you already tap out the replacement holes to reattach the body to the base?

Ha, It snaps back together basically. Little glue and might be good to go.

I use the stuff below to strip the paint. I left the body coated for about 30 minutes and the paint literally dripped off. If you leave the posts under the body as bare metal you can use a little JB Weld to basically create a new rivet. Super glue can work also but JB Weld will definitely hold!

Let do some of these in colors we'd like to see available on Ranger. Forest Green
