How to Customize Your Matchbox Cars
If you want to take customization into your own hands, there are several ways to modify your Matchbox cars. Koikoi Droplets’ Toy Shop Auckland stocks everything you need to get started. Here’s a step-by-step guide to customizing your collection:
Disassembling the Car
Before making any modifications, carefully drill out the rivets holding the car together. This allows you to separate the body, interior, and chassis for easier customization.
Stripping and Repainting
Once disassembled, use paint stripper or sandpaper to remove the original paint. Apply a primer before painting your car in a custom color. Our Toy Shop Auckland has high-quality acrylic paints and airbrushing kits to help you achieve professional results.
Adding Decals and Graphics
Decals bring Matchbox cars to life. You can create custom designs using printable decal paper or purchase pre-made graphics from Koikoi Droplets. Adding racing stripes, flames, or sponsor logos gives your car a unique personality.
Upgrading Wheels and Axles
Changing the wheels on your Matchbox cars enhances their look and performance. Swap out standard wheels for rubber tires or metal axles to create a more realistic appearance. Our store carries a variety of wheel options to suit different styles.
Reassembling and Sealing the Car
After customizing, carefully reattach the parts using glue or small screws. Finish the process by applying a clear coat to protect the paint and decals.
