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.

Before starting, practice the application technique on some discarded metal food cans.

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.
