~1984 Cadillac Coupe DeVille Lowrider

[StanGlover]

Here’s my Revell Cadillac lowrider! This kit was a blast to build and went together very well. My only gripe is the fit of the lower body cladding and chrome trim panels. It’s painted Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red for the body, with TS-45 Pearl White for the vinyl top and interior. I did the interior over black primer to give some shadows in the crevices, but after 4 coats it still looks kinda silver or light gray in person. It looks fine to me though. Vinyl top is painted over gray primer and is the color I was going for. Anyway I definitely plan on buying another one of these kits! I do wish they made this kit with a 2 in 1 stock option but I like the lowrider look too.

I built this kit for my brother as a tribute to the ‘73 Coupe DeVille he and I both owned. That car was a similar bright red with a white top, white seats and black dash/carpet.

That’s the inspiration, our old ‘73!

Explaining your painting technique for the interior is interesting. The interior finish is very realistic looking in the photos. Very cleanly built. and great looking paint finish.

Thank you! I got the idea from "hpiguys workshop" Youtube channel. He's done a similar process on several of his videos.

Cool Caddy.  Nice color combo.

Beautiful build all around and the black primer under the interior color is worth investigating since I do many white interiors myself.
