Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

Sure. Why not? I had a 79 silverado and the paint was well worn. I like that look.

Faux-tina, pfft ... I have loads of the real thing.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

Really interested to find and read through this thread. I recently bought my 64 C-10 in the UK. It had just been imported having spent most of the last 50 years in the Dallas area.
I contacted the woman who was the last owner on the Title who said she sold it in January 2014 when it looked like this.......

Whoever had it next between January and July got it looking like this......

I love the look, I know it's not everyone's taste but the truck is rock solid original metal all over so the option is always there for a 'traditional' respray if I ever go off the paint finish - don't think I will though ;)

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

That hubcap looks damn real on that truck bro'.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

Thanks just wanted to make it look as if they had Ben on the truck all its life, they where shiny aluminum off a 80s truck.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

My wife asked me to build her a raised garden bed. The patina is real, the truck was a 1.5 ton farm truck, the bed was 300 miles away. Then I found the appropriate tow . . .

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

That is awesome! :metal:

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

BBEEP....!!

That garden looks great.

I am sure your wife is happy.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

I love the idea of cars as yard art. Here's are one of my favorites.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

Those planters are great!! I had an orange 99 Camaro rotting in the yard not long ago, but I dont think it would make a cool planter like the trucks do.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

Yard art:lol: or I junkyard I guess it's how you look at it

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

Heres my 61 with real patina

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

Just stared mine. Green Scotch Brite wd40 colors were all there added some flat black but sanded most off just to fill the low spots.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

What it started as when I purchased it.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

Adding flat black but most didn't make it when scotch brited off.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
 

Th colors and depth is awesome in person photos don't do it justice.
