pulltilbroke · 03-08-2010, 06:03 PM

IMO its not right to fake patina,it has no character, its gotta be the real deal for me.

I'd give er some fresh paint

Keep it!! Get some 600 grit and a garden hose and put some more spots on it...

**Dan in Pasadena** · 03-08-2010, 08:48 PM

I'm already real tired of patina and ESPECIALLY fake patina.

Personally, I'm not dropping hundreds (thousands?) of hours; not to mention dollars, in my hobby/dream and then have it look worn out.

Just my $.02. You asked

816allen · 03-08-2010, 11:05 PM

i hear ys man i think ill paint it back to black then when all the rus.t i.s taling care of ill repaint the truck prob brown snd tan satin or white with a rootbeer top or somethong cool o tried. thanks to all you guys for caring enough to post up and help me out means allot to me thanks.

burlapen · 03-08-2010, 11:17 PM

Patina is kind of like a black eye. It looks cool if you've got a story to go with it. Of course if you just slop some makeup on well.... Just my opinion.

816allen · 03-09-2010, 01:45 AM

Ya it had a nice stock patina look when i got it should of left it alone you just cant make in 4 min what 40 years could it just aent right....
It beats the whole purpose of what mother natures art really is.
I know im not feeling it guys looks like back to black or finish sanding then pick out a new color

I was bored wanted to try something new and i did ,but it didnt work out, o well its cool.
Thanks for getting my head back on track guys!

816allen · 03-09-2010, 01:46 AM

60apache · 03-10-2010, 09:26 PM

pulltilbroke · 03-10-2010, 09:44 PM

After seein that I might have to find me a 60 2wd so I can have a pair of 60s

**special-K** · 03-11-2010, 08:13 PM

I only like old factory paint that is naturally worn and faded.That`s the whole point,unmolested original.Once it`s painted,you gotta keep on painting.You know what they say,"It`s only original once".That`s what patina is,natural aging.It`s a state not a look.
