Just went out and worked on installing the hatch. I've decided not to try and cut out and put the original lock and key. Instead I'm going to install a cable to open it. It went on great and shuts great.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Bryan, I would like for you to check out your 67 hub caps that you got from Rus. When I went thru them and sold him a set, I did not realize that I have 2 styles. Out of the 4 that I kept, there is 3 of one style and 1 of another style. Check out the bowtie in the center and make sure they are all the same. I have one that the bowtie is raised up and 3 that the are level. It is hard to see in the picture but the 1st picture and the cap on the right in the last picture is the one that is raised and the 2nd picture and the left one in the last picture is the one that is level. I really do not want you to get these painted and then find out you have 2 different ones. Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

Todd, one of them is different.

My buddy, Brian, painted my 71 plate for me. It looks great.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Which one is the odd one like? Does it have the raised bowtie or the flush?

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Nice work Bryan!!

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Sanded it down yesterday and I'm ready for paint. I'm going to try to knock it out on the 28th. That's the next day that I'm off. I ordered my stuff yesterday to make it look patina, just need to go grab the paint.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

About to start painting the white on top today.

Also, found another member on the board that it attempting to do what I REALLY want to do instead of using 15 inch steelies with the 67 caps. He's using the Mobsteel wheels with the 67 caps. This is a pic of the 18's, but I'll use the 20's.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Joe is always modifying something and does and excellent job doing it. He was telling me at a show a couple weeks ago about his wheels and hub caps. It is because of him that I found out my center cap do not match. Let me know what your odd cap is like and I will see if we can get it corrected.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Started painting on the burb today. It's Blue!!

Lookin good ... are the kids bugging you for a ride yet?

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Looks good bryan!!

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Not yet, but they loved to sit in the seats and bounce around when I was mocking them up.

Russ, did you say you mixed the Iron B in the paint? Or brushed it on afterward? I forget.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

I thinned it down and put it in a spray bottle. Then I sprayed it on.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

What did you thin it down with?

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

WOW!! Looks great, Bryan. I like the blue.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Thanks Matt, I really like it. Not too light, not too dark, and not too royal.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

acetone or mineral spirits. I can't remember which. either will work I believe and it doesn't take much. You just want to thin it enough to spay through the bottle when set on the mist setting. Or you could roll it on.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Another coat today, we'll see how this one does to determine whether or not I go with another coat.

Halen had all kinds of fun and she's alot cheaper then a professional painter.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Just out of curiosity, have you ever thought about actually rusting it and clearing over it when it's done?

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

I'm thinking of using a satin or flat clear after I'm done.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

That's cool! How long did it take to rust after you sprayed it on? I read Rus' thread a while back, but have forgotten.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Just a couple of hours.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Its really looking good Bryan!

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

If you lived in Indiana it would rust on its own without having to spray stuff on it. Looking good and coming along nicely.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

This has me interested in this process.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

The best part about this process is that its over the paint! So the truck isn't actually rusting. its just the look!

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Do you think it would work over a base/clear truck. My cab doesn't match the rest of my truck and I don't want to repaint the whole truck.. However, wouldn't mind doing something like this.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

Oh yeah! This stuff can be applied over anything. Plastic, metal, rubber, concrete, etc.

Re: Project Patina Burb
 

how about a link to Rus's thread..I'm interested in this process looks cool

Re: Project Patina Burb
