Trucks and other vehicles

trucks and other vehicles

A collection of Nylint, Ertl, Hubley and other assorted vehicles. Fun smaller projects. Always satisfying making something old and forgotten look new and shiny again!

nylint 3 tone chevy

Here is a Nylint Chevy that I cleaned up and gave a black/blue/gray three tone finish to. Painted on tail lights and gave the bumpers a splash of chrome. Turned out very nice!


nylint ford dump truck

A late 1970s Ford model Nylint light dump truck. I tried a new process of bleaching the yellowed windshield. Refinished in matte black and slate gray.


Marx Mobile Searchlight Truck

A Christmas 2020 gift. Refinished this vintage Marx truck in gloss gray and moss green. Fitted it with a AA powered LED light. One of my favorite pieces.


nylint chevy

Found a True Value Nylint Chevy on eBay. Removed the stickers and stripped the off white/cream color paint. Gave it a new finish in pink and candy apple red.


Hubley school bus

This was a Christmas gift to me. The bus was in excellent shape. It just needed some cleaning, a new paint job and some new decals. Looks as good as ever!


ertl pickup

Gave this one a new paint job in a three tone finish. Looks great on my office desk.
