'70 ELDORADO CADILLAC

got this one the other day its a old JO-HAN 1/25 scale Eldorado coupe by Cadillac,I will be re-painting it and re-building it,as the paint is very rough on it,looking at a metalic paint and droping in the weeds,

The gromr front sits nice against the dark paint work, are you going to keep the dark paint work your put a lighter colour on the body

Box it up and send it my way Allan!!!!!

.....I luv Johan Caddies

The roadrunner,thinking of painting it bright red or putting a gold base coat then clear red coats,????maybe metalic purple.sorry Paul me keeping this one kit number is C-5570, picked it up for 10 dollars from a mate me seen a lot of potential in it, been looking around the web for caddy's to get ideas for painting it.

colour idea for caddy

here is one in red

picked up colour for the caddy today going to put gold leaf base coat then topcoats of ultraviolet pearl.will be a cool colour for it.

got most of the paint off the caddy look's like there was no under coat on it,going to pick up some white undercoat paint hope that it will help lift the colours.

caddy is undercoated in white primer now look's bit like Boss Hogs caddy all me needs the horns on the front.

there will be a change of colour for caddy going to get some Holden Morpheus purple made up for it.

Cool kit ready for paint.

today took the door handles off and badges,the side door trim and the one of the bonnet,to give it a bit more smooth look.

no paint shop here can mix the morpheus colour as they don't have paint mix code yet,told me 2 years before they will have it.so painting it black with purple bling powered that I got from the parts box.

g'day looking good mate i hae just brought thejo-han dodge challanger kit just for the rims but i will build it up after the fairlane and going by the cadi it looks a good kit

mrxreight,its a base build,it had been built up before I got it,very roughly put it in freeze to get some of it apart,seats are bright blue going to change colour to a light brown.for 10 dollars knew I could save it.

got coat of black on the eldorado will wait a few days before put clear coat on with purple bling in it,sould look good,seats next to re-paint.

had to give caddy another coat of paint useing airbrush it looked patchy ,so just used rattle can got good coat with no run's boy was that a first. will put bling coat on sunday.

here is photo of caddy with new black coat on it will put bling coat on over weekend.there is no door handles on it or badges,given it mild custom look

got a clear coat on the caddy with purple bling powered in it ,It has turned out one great paint finnish,very hard to take photo's of it here is new photo in sunlight just after it was painted.

another photo of caddy.

love the colour of the caddy it gunna long nice with the crome work on it

thank's the roadrunner,going to put BMF along the bottom edge of the caddy,and window frames. if one use's red bling powered on black would get a black cherry,the bling powered came's from The partsbox.I used Tamiya color acrylic paint clear X-22,i thined it with metho.

forgot the Bling colour is Pearl power Reflex violet from THE PARTS BOX,they have other colour's in there range,got a jaguar X220 to be will be useing some bling on it.with the powered u only need to use a bit about the size of a gain of rice in clear,I used 5ml of the 10ml tamiya clear.I put about 9 mist coat's on about 5 min's bettween,then 2 heavy wet coat's,the bling thicken's the clear so it needs thinning a bit more to airbrush it on.

the color looks great, you gonna put custom wheels under it? or jus go with stock?

There is a set of custom rim's in kit,five spoke one's not so hot,going to look some other one's that will fit if not will go stock.there is also a very odd supercharger for the engine it has a pair of side draft carby's on it,will keep that for another engine.
