MONDO CUSTOMZ 12 STEP CUSTOMIZATION PROCESS BREAKDOWN.

1. Buy a 1:64 0r 1:50 scale Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning, Jada or Matchbox car.
2. Using automotive paint stripper, The paint is stripped from the car, washed & hung to dry.

4. 2 light color coats are applied with an airbrush or spray can followed by 1 heavy coat of the same color & hung to dry.
5. Clear coats are applied by hand with either automotive brand semi or high gloss acrylic clear paints & hung to dry.
6. If more modifications are needed, the car will be taped off & painted or sometimes masked with paint masking's & airbrushed.
7. Depending on the job, It takes minutes to hours to even days & weeks to figure out the theme for the car to create & print graphics.
8. Once graphics & placement are agreed upon, the printing of the graphics to be used on the project begins.
9. Graphics are placed & resized on the computer, printed, cut out, soaked in water, applied to the car & padded down to uniformity then hung to dry.
10. During & around this point if the car needs any touch ups or more painting to be done, everything else is hand painted until finished & then hung to dry.

12. Print the graphics for the custom baggie, cut the baggie down to size, place car inside the baggie, staple graphics to the baggie & send it out to you.

I also do other time consuming tricks like wheel swaps, cutting, dremel rotary etc.., Depending on what car & how much work goes in to it each car takes about 8 to 40 hrs to do. Ask any customiser & they will tell you the same > This isn't just about my customz, it's hard to see anyones customs sell real cheap knowing how long it took to create them. That is why I created the 12 step process so everyone can see what really goes into these gems, because most people just don't realize the facts, they just see the car & never think about the work that goes into them. Its not al about slapping a sticker or a decal on a car, it's about jobs done with quality and contrasting creativeness. No competition here, to each thier own, I want to thank all my fellow customisers here on EBAY because if it was'nt for you & Ebay, what in the world would we be doing right now? I hope by me posting this 12 step process that others may recognize the actual work that is done by most true customisers.. I want to say thanks to all my past customers & all my future customers for such a pleasurable & incredible EBAY experience!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
