Re: Patina pics
Have to say the after looks a lot better!
Was there a different paint/clear coat the factory used in the years these trucks were produced? I don't think I have seen any left for rust square bodies. Unlike the older trucks, I see those all the time.. |

Re: Patina pics
Maybe splash some acid or something on the old paint, like that blue truck on the trailer. Something to help it alon to looking like real aged petina.

Re: Patina pics
Here's mine. When I bought it the po had rattl canned it flat black and painted the bottom 10" with roll on bed liner. I sanded all of the black off. It still needs some work. I was so bummed when the po told me it was orig blue paint with some light surface when he bought it.
