Yea it's a cool color. I'm just not crazy about the gold in the graphics or the gold wheels. I opened the purple one and it feels like the graphics are on top of the clear coat so I'm gonna try to strip the graphics off without hurting the paint. If it doesn't work, oh well, I was planning on painting them anyway. Lol.

I have a big time gto with some torque thrusts that I'm gonna steal the chassis a wheels off and try to make it work on one of them.

And another is gonna get something like this

Yes the hot wheels use what's called tampos. Basically the graphics are stamped n, just use a q-tip and some nail polish remover and the graphics will wipe off without hurting the paint underneath usually
