For example, try this.
Here's a die cast model that I re-worked last year.
This is Jada's 1965 Cadillac coupe deVille. I completely took this model apart, stripped the original yellow paint off of it,using a spray chemical stripper, and re-painted it light metallic blue with automotive touchup spray paints. Then I completely re-assembled it, and added details that were originally missing from it from the get-go. Door handles, lock cylinders,and the cowl vent grille. Also, I used aluminum tape cut to fit around all the windows. I also made new hood and trunk "vee's",and crests for it out of the same aluminum tape. Also, around the wheel openings. Here are the results. Sorry, I only have this one picture for now.
Jim.
