Re: 1969 GMC.. right off the farm

After many hours on youtube, I've decided to try and do a patina paint job by layering red oxide primer, flat black, and then dark hunter green.

My thought process here is that the bulk of the sheet metal is already green (bed + tailgate) and that for now, it will be easier to just get the cab and the doors green to get it more uniform.

I was least looking forward to doing the door jambs, so I started there. Sanded down with a combo of tools and hand sanding to get all the red chipped paint out of the way. Layered in the primer, flat black, and green. Going to let it cure for a while before I start wet sanding it to get the lower layers exposed in a few spots. I want to find a balance of it looking faded/worn in all the right places without the super 'faux' look randomly sanded all over the place.
