How to Customize Toy Cars
At any age, toy cars are a joy for boys and sometimes even girls. Whether it's a fond memory from childhood or a collector's hobby, toy cars can be unique and a great display of dedication. Instead of buying a pre- designed and painted toy car, you can take the toy car and with some primer, paint and stencils, you can easily create a unique, one- of- a- kind customized toy car. It will last and leave any person, who creates it, or receives the toy car with a big smile.

Tips & Warnings
Put blue painter's tape to cover the toy cars' wheels if you decide to keep them the original color.
If you decide to use the Krylon spray paints® over the acrylic paints, lay out newspapers out a flat surface, like a table or the floor, and do this activity outdoors for better air circulation.
