ZAMAC is an acronym for the Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium, and Copper alloy that Hot Wheels and other die-cast toy cars are made from. These are known as Zamac Editions, or Zamacs.
A ZAMAC car is basically an unpainted car and/or base. Some designs will still be found, but the car would be clear-coated bare metal otherwise.
In 2013, Hot Wheels issued 18 unpainted mainlines for their exclusive Walmart Mainline ZAMAC editions series. These have a ZAMAC logo on the cards and are numbered 001 to 018. The cars are released in groups of three, six times per year. Zamac Editions are inserted alongside the main releases, and are found in case codes E, G, J, L, N, and Q.
