Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Sure. Why not? I had a 79 silverado and the paint was well worn. I like that look.

Really interested to find and read through this thread. I recently bought my 64 C-10 in the UK. It had just been imported having spent most of the last 50 years in the Dallas area.
I contacted the woman who was the last owner on the Title who said she sold it in January 2014 when it looked like this....... ![]() Whoever had it next between January and July got it looking like this...... ![]() ![]() ![]() and I've changed it a bit more since with a bit of pinstriping....... ![]() I love the look, I know it's not everyone's taste but the truck is rock solid original metal all over so the option is always there for a 'traditional' respray if I ever go off the paint finish - don't think I will though ![]() |

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Thanks just wanted to make it look as if they had Ben on the truck all its life, they where shiny aluminum off a 80s truck.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
My wife asked me to build her a raised garden bed. The patina is real, the truck was a 1.5 ton farm truck, the bed was 300 miles away. Then I found the appropriate tow . . .

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had no idea patina was so popular until recently. Yeah, I'm a bit behind. Searching ebay under Cars & Trucks for the word "patina" under "sold" and it's just nuts. $8K and up for any ole pos as long as it has patina and 18-20s. Crazy. Makes me thinks there's some money to be made in old trucks for a change. And here I've always sprayed a coat of primer over all my patina vehicles so they wouldn't stand out so much. Lot of that has to do with the area I lived in ctrl FL where you WILL get pulled over of you stand out. So glad to be gone from there. Gave up my 64 gmc to do so though. When I was in the sign business, I did a lot of Disney stuff and there was one job where the finish had to be aged and rusted. Trick was, everything was fabbed out of aluminum. They got some product that could be sprayed or drooled on, pt1, then another product was sprayed on and over time it would rust pt2. Time was anywhere from an hour to overnight. Pt3 was a clear coat and it would stop the rust/reaction. This was real rust because the first product had iron dust in it but it was on brand new paint and could be put on anything really. Plastic, wood, whatever. I'll have too see if I can find out what it was. That would be the ticket. Realistic yet no metal harmed. Get sick of it, sand it off and paint it. |

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Those planters are great!! I had an orange 99 Camaro rotting in the yard not long ago, but I dont think it would make a cool planter like the trucks do.
