Found a pretty blurry pic of the reverse LED lights. Right is LED and left is stock. I’ll take a better pic once I get the license plate lights installed.

So a small update. Got her back from paint. Finally all one color again. The Florida sunshine does a real number on our paint down here. Especially with no garage. So here’s some pics of the process.


Before… She was beat up and the roof and hd swapped hood were horrible…..

Hood…

Roof…

Some pics from the prep process…

 

[HansJr]

Fully sanded…

Took the roof and hood down to bare metal to try and combat the rust coming back also.

Picked her up once done. Took about a week and a half at his shop.

Once home I got to finally install all the parts I been collecting slowly. Had him color match some stuff when he had it for painting. So added this..

- Caddy D-pillars color matched
- Caddy power folding, heated, blinker side mirror assemblies
- Caddy Roof Rack
- Caddy Chrome Handles I rebuilt using another set of good hardware

I know I’m forgetting something, but that’s where I’m at paint and exterior wise for right now. I’ll add more if I remember.

Oh wow! Look at that wet Bermuda Blue. So much possibility ahead…

 

[HansJr]

110% needs a good detail, but I’m giving the paint time to fully cure before hitting it with the whole clay bar, polish, wax etc etc.

Next up is to address allllll of my lighting. Interior and exterior. Still have a lot of parts to slowly make its way getting installed. Slowly but surely she’s coming along.

That Bermuda blue paint is something else man! Like the riptide blue in the Escalades. Such a great color! Shop did some nice work!!! Looks great with the caddy parts as well. Wish I could paint my truck that color. But I’d have to take it all the way apart and do the full body….. thinking I have that kinda time makes it a no sadly haha.

Definitely wanna give that paint a solid two weeks before hitting clay and polish! But she’ll clean up nice! Watching gonna seal it up with to protect it?

You could always polish those taillights with some plastic polish(3M)and a buffer. They'll come out great--until you swap them out with some aftermarket lights.

No idea on the sealant and polishing compound etc. Gonna wait and see how it cures first.

Nah. They are cracked and tabs broken. I’ll be ordering some lights in the next week or two once I find what I like. Not a fan of a lot of the lights out right now.
