Beautiful paint job Rob. She really sparkles! For some reason, when I see the tail lights painted in I quickly notice what a beautiful car design it is. Kudus to Porsche!
The Porsche looks amazing
Many many years ago when I was in my early 20's I was very fortunate to be in the position to buy a 1982 928s and then a 1984 928s. These were my 2 absolute favorite real cars. Fantastic engineering and styling that to my eyes still looks modern.
high posh clientele has shed horrendous stacks of cash to reissue this 928 in this decade , the public doesn't know this car was rebuilt in europe as the lotus sprit as well was reissued
Gotta admit I'm a Porsce fan, especially the 911 models. But who doesn't love the 1979 926 "Risky Business" model. I'm also a fan of green (favorite color), so this on was a treat to watch transform. Great custom color of all the leftover colors.
Excellent finish. Looks great.
*WELCOME TO THE MY CHANNEL!*
The paint job is exellent
I think the gold flake through the green shows pretty good at the end. You can see it shining when the light changes. Great job
Hey Rob, any chance you could share a link in one of your vids where you get the screws from? I don't seem to get the right combination of screw/drill bit... Thanks pal

It was my first Matchbox car which I get it from my father as a birthday present (grey, blue and dark blue colours). It was in 1985. I was 5yrs old kid :D
Great job with the Porshe 928 looking brand new . I thought at first it was the 944 .
Hi Rob,I wasn't expecting that colour,but it does look nice you have painted it,with the chrome wheels it does stand out.cool video.
Great restoration of the Porsche, really nice!...Bill
Nice color! I love how you use your leftover paints.
Excellent detail as usual!
So beautiful, i love... great work
Beautiful Porsche. That green color would look really great on a 57 Ford. Make it two-tone with the black metallic. That would be gorgeous.
Oh, yeah, that'd be nice. Or a first-generation Corvette. That color with a black cove and seats.
My dad's paint selection method comes through again! That looks great.
Back in high school, I used to tag along sometimes when a slightly older guy I knew went car shopping. (We'll call him John, on account of that was his name.) He had... let's call it _aspirational_ taste in cars and no money to speak of, so car shopping with him was always an adventure; and he had to do it a lot, because most of the cars he bought were terminally ill when he found them. Seriously, he was like a hospice nurse for dying sports cars.
Anyway, one day we ran across an old 928 that someone had clearly appreciated very much for a long time. It was too beat for even John to pay money for it, alas, but even so, it was a thrill just to see one in person. This was in northern Maine in the late '80s, so that was the kind of car you only saw on TV. How it came to be there, no man can say.
Nice job buddy thanks for sharing buddy 👍👍
Great details at the end
Love the color. Not a fan of the wheels on that car, but it looks good so can't complain! I hope everyone understands that when you zoom into these tiny cars, all kinds of things that look like flaws show up....even from factory cars. When you look at it in life, it's great.
A lovely job on a lovely car, I remember when matchbox bought this out and I bought it when it first came out
This came out great right out of the movie with Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay Risky Business. The color is spot on for 1979, and the updates to the features and the wheels only enhance it further. Only suggestion for a correction, the headlights on the Porsche 928 are exposed and could have been painted white/silver as well. Once again, you do amazing work. Can't to see the next one!
Great car love the color great video
That color is close to my 67 Mustang convertible, my first car. It was called lime gold with an ivy gold interior. I still have it 32 years later!
I had a mustang coupe in the green color back in 1974. It was a 3-speed with a 327 engine. My husband wrecked it.
Nice one Rob looks good son
I'm probably the only person who enjoys when he puts the car into the paint remover.
kool , thanx...luvx the Porsche cars....nice save....neat car
Robert
lol...."we all know what we mean"....yessir , we certainly do...Thanx again , Rock onnn Rob
At first I thought the color was going to turn out like split peas soup... However, I have to say the gold undertones look subtly amazing!
A 928 with an Interior!? Rare!
One word NICE 😎
Looks like the two paints have reacted to each other a bit. Still a very cool vehicle !
Looks good Rob
The 928 is one of my most favorite cars and you've done a great job of bringing it back to life ! 🍻
GOOD job
Brilliant work Rob, that color is perfect for that era of Porsche!
Beautiful metallic paint!! As always, great detail work!! The wheels you chose really make the car!! Sweet!!!
Excelente trabajo, 👏👏👏👏👍👍
Love to hearing the other words used for the same things in other countries, i think it's awesome, so keep on being you!
me gustan tus trabajos. y veo que ya los detallas mas , las luces traseras se ven muy bien al igual que las delanteras. te doy mi like
A challenge. Go outside and open your car's door. See how the seats and the inside of the doors match? Yet when anyone paints a Matchbox with open doors they ignore this detail. So I'd like to see someone (you) paint the inside of the doors as they are in real cars. I know you'll do it because you " want it to be perfect."
Great job Rob! The green dried a lot nicer than I thought it would when you were spraying it, the wheels really suit the car but as a few people have said the car kind of needs to sit lower.
sir, I dub this color "Golden Lime" . Awesome vid, thank you for sharing!
Yes that's a good name
Very nice 👍👍👍
Really love the Porsche, not the wheels or color. But love your work.
Fine restoration, the color looks good. Good work.
Came out terrific! The paint looks like metallic sage green.
Hi! Very nice Porsche 928. I ignored that Matchbox had made this rare model in mini scales!!! Good job nice paint..
Good color choice!
Great result, love the colour and the wheels!!.
Another great one. We have the same light box (9” cube) I find you need to set a decent white balance to get the colours accurate. For photos on my iPhone I use Camera + app.
Very sweet 🔥🤘🏻
Hi Rob, I, too, wondered about your finishes. They seem to have a lot of orange peel. With all the care you use in preparation I figured it was your lighting or camera picking up that illusion. Thanks for clarifying this. As per usual, and I am being perfectly honest, this restoration came out fabulously. Thanks for being so cool. 👍👍😊
Ok , i don't like green. But this green ,in this car and with this colour from the windshield looks very cool. And the wheels are nice. Well done :-)
Post WWII, late 40's thru early 50's almost all the cars in both Europe and the states were variants of Military colors. Blues, Greens and Reds with many variants thanks to adding White or Black. So even the car companies used to abore waste. Keep up your good ways, sir - and that goes for the rest of you lot that might be reading this - mix it don't nix it. Anyway, as I was saying, I do like your methods - and your technique as well. You turn out quality jobs.
Thank you for sharing...
Yessssss love love love it. Been waiting forever to see a Porsche done up like this.
Wasn't sure about the colour to start with but the final result was really nice ,good job Rob !!
What a great job. I love the wheels.
That colour is amazing, kind of like the original gold but better.
Pretty neat color. This seems like some kind of factory color that Porsche would've sold their cars back then. That said, since it's summer, maybe think of taking pictures outside in the sun? I think that would be neat to see your creations outside in "real" light, rather than in LED light.
Good idea
Oh crap I just found your channel and now I feel the need to donate. What psychic power do you possess? ......nice!
As long as you enjoy the videos mate that's all that matters to me
You are my hero! (Thanks for the Stars and Stripes on your tool box!)
Once again you’ve knocked it out of the park again with the ride height needs to be lowered beautifully done🔥‼️
Looks great! One of my favorite Styles as well
Neat custom-mixed color :)
Interesting color-quite nice in the final picture! 🤹♂️
Wow nice colors bro, i liked so much
I love it I it turned out amazing you can see the gold flake what a nice job❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍
I’ve got so many of this casting it’s my 2nd favorite Porsche after the 959.
If all else fails with your "fake dremel" check your local Aldi, I got one in there in a kit with accessories for £16.99. And it's cordless too!
You can't grumble with Aldi and lidl's tools, cheap prices and good quality. I had a rotary tool for 5 years before the internals shredded. Had my money's worth out of it 10 times over.
Oh I don't know about that. I bought an Aldi soldering iron and only used it once before it packed in
@@andrewdrabble8939 Did you exchange it for another? If so how did that go? I had the same with an angle grinder from The Range, but they exchanged it and the 2nd one is still going strong a year later
@@DJShadow1966 No I didn't mate. By the time I used it, they'd run out and it only cost me £1.50 so didn't really lose anything. It meant buying a new one though from Maplins (when they were in business) for a few more pennies (cost me £10). Have now got a proper soldering station
Love that colour. Come to Ireland and paint my car!
I will be in Ireland at the beginning of August I will see you there 😎
@@MatchboxGarage Where will you be?
@@Ogma3bandcamp I am staying near Galway and I will be at the races on Saturday
@@MatchboxGarage I'm way down south mate, bottom left of the country and not a racing man, not horses anyway. My MX5 will have to wait for its paint job. Have a good un and good luck.
Stunning job mate! ...superb paintjob and detailing👍
I always wanted a 928 after watching Risky Business, it's a beautiful looking car and is up there with the Lamborghini Miura in coolness
Craftsman!!
Great video, unusual colour but works well on the Porsche, nice makeover look forward to seeing the next one 😀
Nice 💖
Nice finish, great wheels. Can't aford to buy a big range of colours myself so paint with what I have but try to keep it appropriate to the year and make of car. Bought an Austin mini when a kid it looked a bit rough around the edges so painted it with a mix of odds and ends from my dad's garage. It looked a bit like the colour you made for the porch. ( 40 yrs ago ) thanks again for sharing
Lindo trabalho, great job!!
Like it rob ,looks great nice wheels.
All the best
Suggestion, Rob. Run one short 15 second ad at the beginning of each of your videos (I always let those run through to the end on subscription channels to help producers), and as many as you like at the end (when many of us are busy reading and sharing comments). Ads placed in the middle of short presentations are just plain annoying and clicked away as soon as possible. Point: don't think UA-cam pays on ads that aren't watched to the end. Cheers!
Looks great, but you forgot about the exposed headlights! :-)
Looks tip top.
nica color, i like it
My first thought was "Oh god, that colour sounds awful" but actually, it's a mushy pea green and goes brilliantly with both the interior and glazing. Lovely effort. I have the original gold/tan plus two of the blue.
I started off with the blue when bought new in the 80s and tried persuading a pal of mine to swap me his tan/gold, but he wanted it back. Took me decades to track one down.
I would have wanted to find an original set of Superfast wheels for this and apply that original tan/gold paint. I would be tempted to do a Porsche 911 in that tan gold in fact.
Yeah it takes time to build up a decent paint collection. I'd say my collection took about 35 years to come together and I still regularly buy paints I don't have yet.
Very good choice for a spruce up and such. Obviously new wheels are no trouble. No drilling needed to get the windshields out. I liked that. The foot long hotdog jar is well tempered by now, right? I’ve seen other guys shatter glass using the caustic soda... good to see that doesn’t happen to you. This car came out looking great... and very Nice color, as well. Amazing how improved a car becomes once wheels are put on it! Ha ha😜
Cheers👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Ferry Porsche’s favorite color was Amazon green, and the color you mixed is close. Good job. The 928 is my favorite Porsche. I have a 1/80 scale diecast version from PlayArt and a 1/24 scale plastic Revell kit. The first 928 I ever saw was when I worked at my uncle’s Porsche dealership. It was Porsche cocoa brown with the Pasha upholstery which is a trippy checker pattern. Definitely Porsche from the 70s. Glad you mentioned your light box and your paint jobs. It always looked like orange peel, but this explains it.
I had this car in a dark green.
Very nice! The wheels set it off .Tom Cruise drove one like that in Risky Business if I remember correctly
Porsche 928 was the Decepticon Dead end of The Transformers (TV series)
At first, I did not like the color. But, it looks great.
I hope you kept a small sample of the paint. You really need to use it again! It would be nice as part of a two tone paint scheme!
Make no mistake Rob. The paint job is excellent. However, the color is just not up to par for me. But it's not about me. If it makes you happy, then that's great. The car does look very nice. Nice restore👌
Nice work again 👍 Just a notice... You detailed front fog lights, parking lights and blinkers. Shouldn't the driving lights on the bonnet be also in white (or silver) in 928 😉
They are pop up headlights so whilst they are down they are off
They are pop ups, but the light is visible also in down position as there are no covers on them.
@@mikalampela1950 yes you are right I will paint them in off-camera now
I'm sure, it will make that beauty even more striking 😊
Metallic pea green? Working with what you have is something I can appreciate. Thank you! Great work!
I hope your old rotary tool gets fix, I guess the new one you got had some issues maybe you should look into other rotary tools that'll workout for you incase the old one doesn't want to work anymore.
Green with Gold flake could be a "tarnished gold" color
Nice. Just ordered one off eBay. Got a good price. It's in rough shape but I'll make it pretty :)
a bit high for a 928, cant you lower the suspension?
I agree
Thats how a 928 should be when they were brand new 😂
Chouun Shiryu the original car had relatively small diameter wheels which exaggerated the impression of height in the car. Later models wore much bigger rims and some had lower suspension.
The paint sure looks shinier once it dried than it did whilst wet.
Nice car!!
Greenie Goldie huh? I really like that idea actually
Good one Brian Thailand
Nice piece.
I own the same casting and i just dig the open doors and design
I had put match box wheels cuz they had no slack inbetween like the Real riders do
The windshield is badly scratched and i don't have the necessities to turn it into what i'd like
Nice custom overall 🖒
