My wife spotted this on Pinterest and it got me to thinking, why not a whole truck painted like this?
You can google cinnamon patina paint and get other examples.

It's a lot easier to just park it out in the back yard for 35 years or so.

God I hate this fake stuff.

Thanks for the link! It looks really good actually. Wonder how the cinnamon would hold up over time.

I dunno. Since it's put in while the paint is wet, and it's a "natural" substance, maybe pretty well?
I was wondering if anyone had heard of it.

I understand the haters. I'm not crazy about the fake either. But, unless you can find a 50 year old truck with no major dents and no rust-thru, and original paint (pretty rare) and you want this look, what else do you do? Show quality paint jobs are above my pay-grade and this looks easy.

Paint it how YOU like it. You're entitled to your opinion just as they're entitled to theirs.

I'm not sure how true it is but I am told "it's their car" and I can't tell them what to do. Again, not sure how true this is but if that's the case, so be it.

Plus, it will smell real good. Almost like apple pie.

I dig it. People like me who want an original paint truck but instead have one with a crappy backyard repaint don't have many options. Body is rough. Skills are not currently there. Cost of paint. Etc... What's wrong with a fake patina driver that a normal guy can enjoy? I say go for it! Opinions are like buttholes I guess, everyone's got one lol. Half the fun is researching and discussing.
