Hot Wheels Jaguar car loses it's decorative paint job with an unusual tool that makes removing the paint quick and easy.

I have gathered a number of this cars and plan to use them as police cars and VIP vehicles.

Thanks for reading and commenting on the blog.

Brilliantly useful! I have a bunch of Hot Wheels cars for use in a Hot Wheels scale Formula De' game. I will have to look at them to see if there are any tampo's I need to remove. Looks as though the marker has no effect on the underlying paint. Woo-hoo! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Thank you Sgt Slag, bob, Sol, and Parzival.

My dry erase marker is over 20 years old and I have developed new information.

It seems older markers and perhaps some new ones, have ketone in them which can be a hazard. And it may or may not be in newer markers.

I can be difficult to find military vehicles for the 1938 US Army project I am working on. So I try to get creative. It seems almost everything with wheels was used by the US Army in the 1930s at least in small numbers because the Congress would not approve large purchases of vehicles.

This milk truck is a nice little van and with a wheel and undercarriage swap should work nicely as a radio truck.

After timing out twice I gave up trying to post and just commented on my own posting.
