About New Golden Cad System W/Diamond Clear
3-step acrylic enamel painting process helps you achieve a more realistic cadmium-plating effect than with our old, original Golden Cad System. Produces a natural 30% gloss on most parts (90% once you’ve added the Diamond Clear Gloss top coat), while you avoid expensive genuine cadmium plating or replacement. Withstands temperatures up to 250 degreesF, and provides long-lasting protection against corrosion. Each of the four 12-oz. aerosol cans is enough to cover about 6 square feet.
Due to regulations pertaining to paint recycling, at this time we are unable to ship this product to Alberta, Canada.
10333Z Red Zinc Tint
10034Z Green Zinc Tint
10200Z Diamond Clear Gloss for Bare Metal
Try to shine the base metal a bit if you can, since the yellow cadmium gold base, which is semi-opaque, looks best when applied in a thin layer that allows some of the base metal to shine through.
After the gold base is applied and dries, LIGHTLY spray some of the red tint from about 12" away. Do it in one quick, light, pass; just enough to mist a little on. Next, do the same with the green. You’ll have the most realistic cadmium-plated look if you don’t spray too much red and green. After it's thoroughly dry, protect it and enhance the gloss with a coat of Eastwood Diamond Clear included.

OK but not great not as expected
Review by Dynamic 88 -
Price Value Quality Looks OK in the bright sunlight. Followed the instructions but did not turn out like the demo video. It just doesn't pop like the video demo unit did and that is what I expected it to look like.

Very close to real cad, but not quite.
Review by Jake -
Price Value Quality If you are doing an original concorse resto, this is not for you. But this still is a great product at an attractive price. Follow the instructions properly and you will still have a very attractive part when you are finished. This system will actually preserve your part longer than real gold cad. Again this is another great product for Eastwood.

Fool the Pros
Review by Auto Art Restoration -
Price Value Quality Needed a way to gold cad a striker plate without taking it all apart for the shop that plates for me.
Way to easy to use to achieve results that compare to actually replated hardware to a roving eye.
My customer was extremely happy with the results as well.
Thank you Eastwood!!

The closest to Cad, plating for the Money!
Review by Red -
Value Quality Price I have used Eastwood's Cad, system for several years now, and I can say That I have nothing but Positive results with this Product. Granted If you want Concourse quality=Then you will spend the money for the real deal. However, if you want a show winner at the local events, and can't afford the process of real Cadmium Plating. This Product is ONLY second to REAL Cadmium Plating. It's worth every Penny!

Not really Cad...close but you can tell
Review by Rich -
Price Value Quality I have used also on a couple of drivers and it clearly looks like paint and not true cad. I have also judged cars at large events and this type of coating is a real no no with points deducted....again for a true show car. If you are going for a real show look, you need authentic cad, not paint. However...it would look ok for local shows where they really don't care too much in many cases. Easy to use and goes on nice..
