Hot Wheels finally got their Ferrari license back – and with the new F40 casting I used it as an excuse to get back into customising after a 2 year absence. Learn how I made this trio of vehicles and read my tips so you avoid the same mistakes I made (hey, it’s been a while OK)
We’re back baby! Finally now that I am back in the groove (of publishing content at least) it means we will be having regular episodes of Your Custom Hotwheels – the time when it’s not about My Custom Hotwheels, it’s about Yours – and boy have you guys and gals delivered!

A quick & easy guide showing you how to neatly and perfectly apply carbon fibre decals to various body panels on your next custom Hot Wheels – this guide will also work for sticker bomb sheets or any large sections of waterslide decal paper that you are trying to apply
Every few weeks (or months as it were) the team here at MCH showcase the finest 1/64 scale customs found on Instagram and Facebook, collating them all into one article so you can get your monthly fix of custom hot wheels and diecast car porn all in one place. This isn’t about My Custom Hotwheels, it’s about Yours…
My latest creation, a ‘Manga Tuner’ inspired Cartoon custom of the now infamous (and stupidly expensive) RLC 55 Gasser aka ‘The Candy Striper’ came out rather well (even if I do say so myself).
Here’s the story of how I downloaded and played Candy Crush and got it all so very wrong (or did I get it oh so right? -insert twilight zone music- )
We in the Hot Wheels world call it spectraflame but in the real (automotive) world it goes by many different names. You can call it Spectraflame, Pearl, Candy, Kandy (with a K) or even 2Pac, it’s no Biggie. Today we’ll experiment with a range of spray paints to discover how to get the best spectraflame paintjob on your next custom Hot Wheels build
