espo Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 You really need to warn people to put on some sunglasses before the look at the frame color. That is bright alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katsusauce Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Okay, main color is down. Tropical Glitz "Coral Reef" over Splash Paints 2k white primer. Still deciding if I want to shoot some pearl on it....and if so, what color?!? Maybe purple pearl? 🤷♂️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Hi Derek, Wow! Yep that’s a pink Caddy. Looking good. I like the idea of purple pearl, although it looks really good as is. I’m guessing this will be down in the weeds based on the rear inner fender removal. Looking forward to seeing how you progress. Cheers, Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Maybe just a clear pearl topcoat? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsusauce Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 Took a break from this build to do Tom Daniel's Red Baron. Now the 59 Cadillac is back on the board. First up, finish up what I can on the chassis, then on to the interior 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gman Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 That is looking extremely nice- my vote would be let the base coat metallic shine through clear. You could do test sprays with clear pearl/purple pearl on spoons or a scrap body, but it would be a shame if it subdued the brilliance of the metallics already in the base coat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've been testing on spoons. I haven't decided if I want any flakes or pearl to the base coat yet. And yes, leaving it as is is also a real option. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsusauce Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 So, I mentioned that I would change up the dash just a little bit. I really wanted to bring it to about 1979 with a Cassette Deck..... Not everyone will agree with this, but I like it. I'll probably throw a Cassette tape on the trans hump or something..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
