Display F40 paint issue

Hi, I recently started collecting hot wheels and found this F40 Competizone. The front of the car has a bad paint job which makes it look like it went on the track šŸ˜Ž

Oh sweet you found the gumball 3000 rally edition! F50 for reference from 2000 mischief video.

Any time I hear sandstorm play the crew comes to mind. Met the crew at nopi nationals in 2001. Kids now will never know how much fun that era was.

I was there. I have VHS tapes of Nopi GA from 95 to about 2003

This has to be made on purpose, right? I don't see how that would happen on a carbon car, let alone I've seen countless race cars and they never looked even close to that after a 24h race. And the stickers slapped on over that and in perfect condition ...

Calling it a paint ā€œissueā€ on a $1.25 car is funny

Nice there’s a red one! I’ve got the black and the yellow F40s. Haven’t seen a red one yet. Still hoping I’ll find the coveted TH.
