Your Paint Color Profile

29 (1970) - Candor Blue Metallic

The Look

1970 was a heavyweight year for Cadillac. It was the era of the massive 500 cubic inch V8 and enough chrome to blind a pilot. This blue isn't shy, but it isn't a neon sign either. It is icy, sophisticated, and looks like a frozen Great Lake at dawn. It wrapped everything from the Eldorado to the Fleetwood. On those long, slab-sided body panels, it defines high-end luxury without screaming for attention.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish. It relies on fine aluminum flakes to catch the light. Because of those flakes, it can be temperamental. If you apply it too heavy in one spot, the metal settles unevenly and creates dark "mottled" patches. It's a delicate balance. You want enough coverage to hide the primer, but not so much that the paint puddles. It's a rewarding color, but it demands a steady hand and a cool head.

Best Practices

Before you apply Cadillac Candor Blue Metallic (check for code 29 (1970)), you have to stir or shake the container like your life depends on it. Those metallic flakes love to sit at the bottom. Pop the hood and look at the driver's side cowl-that's the metal ledge near the windshield-to find your data plate and confirm the code. Test the color on the included card first to get a feel for the flow. When you're ready, work in a cool garage out of the sun. Keep the container moving at all times to avoid stripes. Thin, even layers are your friend. Give it plenty of drying time before you even think about touching it.

How to Find Your Cadillac's Color Code

Cadillac used many locations for paint codes, making them hard to find, often impossible. GM (parent company of Cadillac) did not standardize the plate location. Usually the code is in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise it may be elsewhere. The typical format is 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC (e.g., BC/CC 51 or BC/CC 316N). There are two codes in one, and a U or L may precede for Upper or Lower. Two-tone examples: BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
