Testing some pinks - I have seen a variety of colours when googling images for pink Cadillacs but feel a more muted tone (like the one on the right) would work better than a hot fluorescent pink for the 50s image.

Indeed it would, it would no doubt light up the sky like a comet if launched into space!

Oh myy. Can't wait to see how this turns out. That big body is a lot of pink.

Thanks Guys 😁 what do you think, should I go with that one on the right? I am thinking about playing some more with the flo-pink. Will upload some more photos for thoughts when next get the time to do some testing.

For me personally neither colour make me happy - but whatever you choose: I am in 👍

So with a little play on the colours, I now have a Bubble Gum Pink using 2-1 fluorescent to white and Baby pink using 2-1-1 Flo Pink, White, Rosa. Bubble Gum on left spoon and Baby on Right of Photo 5. What do we reckon?

The colour in the fotos might be misleading - what with pic 8 or right spoon in pic 7?
In pic 5 I d go for Bubble Gum pink 😊

Thanks Thomas 😉 Picture 5 is taken in a LightBox so does create a more vibrant result! As you mentioned colour can be very subjective due to light conditions, those on the tabletop - I think might give a slightly better representation. Picture 7 Showing Baby on the Left and Bubblegum on the right just to confuse things 😛

I don't know. Fluoro pink may be hard to look at with that big Cadillac but it's also kind of cool that it's so bright. 😀

Gotta love Google... hdpaintcode.com/cadillac/
Looks like both colours are too bright to be authentic, what to do? 🤔

the paint charts may also be faded - google found me these sites
paintref.com/paintre../pink_Cadillac.shtml
uniquecarsandparts.c..swatch_cadillac_1957
and comparing the "Mountain Laurel" indicate some freedom in your choice 🙂
... I still would go for "bubble gum" and leave historic accuracy to the rivet counters

Thanks Kyle 🙂
I chose to keep the kit vanilla in build, only adding extra matting to the carpet area using some base materials. I was unsure if to use the chrome stickers and considered painting the required areas instead, but glad I stuck to the provided 'decals'.
Was an enjoyable build and not taxing.
At this point, I should say thanks to my wife who got it imported from America for my 40th BDay, after I had been coveting it online for months!

I like the pink you went with too! Looks like the perfect pink Cadillac pink to me.
