Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

patina-is the natural age of the trucks paint, so a mix of rust and weathered paint. Lot of people like and hate it, I personally like it because it really makes the vehicle stand out and alike no other. Anyone can paint a car canary yellow. this is heavily debated subject like religion and the term rat rod, patina doesn't make something a rat rod. anyway, I do like paint don't get me wrong, I just feel like trucks look so appropriate in patina, if its good. Fauxtina-is when you paint a fake patina on the truck. This causes even more debate. Bottom line, if its your ride, do what ever you want. I see where both sides are coming from but hey there are plenty of other things to gripe about IMO, just live and enjoy the ride and if you built it, no one can say a damn thing about it.

check out steelekustoms.com I think it is, send him an email and he'll point you in the right direction, if this aint his, he had one just like it I know that, I just can't recall the
shade of it. good luck man, just learn and take what you see and hear with a grain of salt, cause there are alot of dooshbags out there that are just negative and know it alls. Do you, there are no rules, this is an art period.
