Faux Patina
I just picked up a 64 C-10.
The paint, is a light blue flat, over what ever color it was. It doesn't looks too bad from about 10 feet, but not so good up close. My time & budget is somewhat limited, so this will be a multi-year project My plan is : 1. Engine --get it driving, and running nicely 2. Brakes, suspension, stance, steering, exhaust. 3. Wiring & electrical 4. Body Work & paint 5. Interior I was thinking of a faux patina, for a year or two until I can get body and paint done. I did some experimenting with a old glovebox door from an old parts bin. I use some rattle cans that I had laying around. First I sprayed entire part blue, then I sprayed a coat of flat red oxide primer over the blue, then top-coated with the blue again. wet sanded with with 400 grit, then a scotch-brite pad. I think I can replicate this look in the obvious spots, and leave the rest of the truck, mostly as is. What do you think. What do you think Last edited by kens65fb; 02-13-2019 at 05:14 PM. |
