In Scale: The 1979 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

I'm a big fan of stupid projects. So when I saw this cheesy model of a 1979 Cadillac Coupe DeVille lowrider in the clearance bin at a local department store, I knew I'd regret it later on if I didn't buy it and paint it up to look like mine.

First I peeled off the ridiculous-looking diamond stickers on the hood and trunk, as well as the ones down the doors that said "ICE MACHINE." Then I used masking tape to tape off the quarter roof and hood ornament.

Then I sprayed it and left it to dry. When that was done, I peeled the masking tape off of the quarter roof, used some silver modeling paint to paint the car where the real one would be chrome, and put it back together.

Pretty neat, huh?
