Use the circular stencil tool to add detail to your artwork. First fully insert the pen until you hear/feel it click and adjust the spray nozzle until you get a nice even spray. Then plug the circular stencil tool directly onto the end of the airbrush tip. Rotate the stencil to select the artwork that you would like to apply. The art should be centered over the spray tip and applied to the car in close range.

After you’ve airbrushed your car, lower the turntable into the drying chamber by turning the handle on the far right counterclockwise toward the ground. Rotate the knob outside the chamber all the way to the rightmost setting to turn the fan on. Air will blow inside the drying chamber and dry off your car!

Push the handle on the far right counterclockwise all the way to the ground and the car platform will tip forward, allowing your car to roll out.

• Excess wax on the car body can be easily trimmed by hand or with the supplied design tool.

You should hear/feel it click when you push the pen down into its slot on the spray gun.

Instructional videos include a review of box contents, items you'll need to get started and helpful tips about Hot Wheels Wall Tracks.

• Once Car Maker instructs you to pull the handle, you must immediately pull it all the way down in one continuous motion until you hear “Complete.” For best results, DO NOT pump handle when pulling it down and complete the injection within 2-3 seconds. If you do not pull it all the way down to complete the injection, Car Maker will keep repeating the phrase, “Please pull down handle.”

• If you cannot insert or remove the mold, locate the tabs on both sides of Car Maker (underneath handle), push them up and try again.

You need to fine tune the spray nozzle by turning the adjustment nozzle all the way to the negative side (-). Then while holding the trigger down, slowly adjust the nozzle toward the positive side (+) until you get a nice even spray. You should also make sure that the pen is fully inserted by pushing it all the way into the slot on the spray gun until you hear/feel it click.

• If you hear “Error,” ask an adult to unplug Car Maker from the wall, wait ten seconds and then plug it back in to reset. Car Maker may automatically go into the cooling cycle. Do not unplug during this time. If you continue to hear “Error” after multiple resets, this may be an indication of a mechanical problem with the door switch; please contact Consumer Services via service.mattel.com for assistance.

On the underside of the launcher, each end of the rubber band should be wrapped around a peg on each side of the main launcher and then doubled up and hooked around the center tab of the moveable portion of the launcher.

Here is a picture of an assembled rubber band launcher!

• The very first time you use Car Maker, you need to insert 2 wax sticks. Car Maker comes pre-loaded with 1 wax stick. The second stick you insert is not meant to fit completely inside the machine – it will protrude through the top. After you have made your very first car, only 1 additional wax stick needs to be inserted every time. Please note that ALL wax sticks must be inserted with the point side down.

• If you cannot press the handle down, have an adult unplug the machine, wait ten seconds and then plug it back in to reset. Car Maker will automatically go into the cooling cycle. Do not unplug during this time. After you hear “Cooling Complete” and the door opens, try the following:
• Check the mold for blockage. See CLEANING section in the instruction sheet.
• Look into the front window on the machine. Ensure that there is a wax stick in the heating chamber and that the wax stick above it is properly aligned.

• If you have inserted different colored wax sticks next to each other, you may get some color blending (in which the wax from the two adjacent sticks mix when creating the car body).

• If your car body came out only partially completed, see instructional video or try the following:
• Ensure you are inserting enough wax sticks into the machine and they are positioned next to each other in the proper alignment (point side down).  Remember, it’s normal for one of the wax sticks to protrude from the top.
• Ensure the handle is pulled all the way down in one continuous motion and the injection is completed within 2-3 seconds until you hear “Complete.”

• Ensure the mold has been thoroughly cleaned before starting your cycle.

To cover existing paint or color you will need to apply multiple coats. First paint a thin, light coat and let it dry. Then repeat the process until you get the paint coverage you want.

The booster needs to be correctly assembled to its designated wall bracket in order to function.   The designated wall bracket has a notch on it.  This notch ensures the motor only works when attached to the bracket.  All other brackets are flat. 

Watch set-up instructions for your track.

Make sure the pen is fully inserted by pushing it all the way into the slot on the spray gun until you hear/feel it click. Start spraying with the nozzle adjuster pointed all the way toward the negative side (-) and, while holding the trigger down, slowly move the adjuster toward the positive side (+) until you get a nice even spray. If you’re still having issues, please refer to the troubleshooting section below.

First insert the flexible stencils into the frame with the built-in peg fitting. Connect the frame onto the four posts on top of the car decoration turntable, and then adjust the height of the frame for tall and low cars by using the two detent locations. Remember that in order to spray using stencil, the airbrush must face directly down over the top of the car and spray through the stencil.
