Re: Patina paint jobs

A faux patina paint job is harder to do than a beautiful repaint. Most go over board on it. But they all lack the small dings, scrapes, and pin holes that Mother Nature produces.

Around here, the best I could find with natural patina was this truck.

As found it was really beat up. I saved it and cleaned it up keeping the original paint. It’s the closest thing I could come up with as a “Survivor”. It was more of a rescue from the dead.
