None of the cars in this post have been repainted. White walls were made with a vinyl cutter. Rocker panel trim was made using bare metal foil everything else was painted with a chrome paint pen!

HOT Wheels from a special anniversary set. The front grille actually came painted yellow and I used a wire brush to remove the paint. I think with the decals on the side it looks SOOOO much better!!!!

I just finished my first '57 Chevy "custom," just a wheel swap, paint stripped, and lightly detailed. It's for a friend of a friend in Australia

COOL! I'd like to know how the vinyl whitewalls look up close, in person. I've always loved whitewalls, even as a kid. Whitewalls with baby moons is about the best combination I can think of.
