Well done, bringing this one back to life! Yeah, I think one can appreciate the beauty of the paint job far more without the excessive amount of decals! Cheers
Thanks for the tip about NOT using super glue to hold on the replacement caps. Very good to know, and good to know you offer more than one tip per video. Have fun with your toys!
Beautiful job!! I’ve restored several blackwalls and redlines. And to be honest it’s about enjoying the hobby! And if this is what makes you happy and you make others happy. That’s what it’s about. Love your videos and your suggestions are very helpful.
Yours turned out MARVELOUS like mine did. I didn't have a problem restoring my 7 dollar Ebay "steal" as i had my childhood magenta in mint condition. It did take almost 15 years to start on it though. LOL I returned it to itz original blue and upgraded the wheels from other RL purchases that didn't have the pedigree as the 442 does. The only thing I had to buy was a repro spoiler and decals. It turned out GREAT. I even had a couple of 4 hundred + dollar offers for it but I LOVE it too much to let it get away, plus it looks Kool next to the magenta one. Thanks Paul as these are the kind of builds I like to see. Stay cool and take care !
Hey Paul good morning my friend going to be completely honest with you I never knew that they made a red line 442 Oldsmobile I absolutely love it and I hope you have a fantastic day thank you for sharing as always my friend
Great Job! I've seen people pay crazy money for cars that a re broken and raggy cause they are original and thats what that want but there are people who will pay the same money for a restored car when they look nice like this. I've sold a few I restored for good money, Not what an original in the same condition would bring but more than it was worth before I started. Thanks Paul!
This green is my favorite color and it's looks great, I'm doing my next custom with Testors clear green to replicate this, he will be very happy with your work.👍🏻👍🏻
Looks AMAZING as always! Paul, I have a original Olds 442 that belonged to my father he used to put up train displays at Christmas time and this was one of the cars that I loved to see displayed. My Olds is purple in color or Magenta in color mild toning and the base is in the same shape as the green one was, this car has been in the family since 1971 when my dad bought it new, it doesn't have stripes on it but it doesn't matter this car will NEVER BE SOLD AT ANY PRICE. ITS TOO SENTIMENTAL TO ME. How much would you charge to restore it? I can send you pictures with your Ema address. Thank You, Mike
Nice, How do we go about getting a custom done by you? I grew up with 70' Ford trucks my dad and older brothers had and id like to do (4) paint jobs to match them and give to my Dad for Father's day 2022.
It helps the Spectre flame finish look better if it has a nice smooth, reflective surface either through polishing or through the SpectraFlame silver basecoat
It looks great Paul.That pillar would have bothered me til i fixed it.lol.Screw the purists.They need their heads examined for paying 500-1000+ for original examples. My collection of restored redlines look better than any original. This casting and a bye focal are un- obtainable anymore.

Paul, if the paint is okay how would you just polish it? Thx and another great resto!
You could try some super fine polishing compound available at automotive store
@@DiecastGraveyard Thx Paul. Have a great night.
The missing piece in my collection
Yeah buddy, I don’t have one of these for myself, as far as original. I’ve got plenty of the police cars the fire cars etc. but not an original

If you're not using Spectraflame paint, do you need to buff and polish the metal?
It helps the Spectre flame finish look better if it has a nice smooth, reflective surface either through polishing or through the SpectraFlame silver basecoat
@@DiecastGraveyard I appreciate the help. Thank you
I know that the decals , if original cost alot, was or is there a way of reattaching those?
Once you pull them off they are no good. If I had an original set, I would save them
great work Paul. I'm a new channel subscriber and I'm loving it. What is the name of the object that holds the car when you are painting? thank you
Brother, those are called Helping Hands from Harbor Freight
@@DiecastGraveyard Niceee. Thank you!
Hello . What did you charge to restore the green olds 442 ? I
Usually for a restoration I charge $25 plus parts. If I include a custom card with it, I can charge up to $50 for that
It looks great Paul.That pillar would have bothered me til i fixed it.lol.Screw the purists.They need their heads examined for paying 500-1000+ for original examples. My collection of restored redlines look better than any original. This casting and a bye focal are un- obtainable anymore.
Can you do a Camaro for me?
I sure can
