Re: faux-tina paint jobs
The thing about natural patina is that it's rarely consistent. You'll have oddly placed areas that are faded or burned off that don't make sense. You have to assume that these are the places where the original painters at GM went a bit light on the paint. The faux-tina jobs often are done too consistently, if that makes any sense. They often assume that the paint fades off only on the edges and on the horizontal surfaces, and that isn't necessarily true. I can usually spot a fake job a mile away.
However, there's always a pro out there, and Borris is the man. That F-100 in the last picture is amazing. He has an uncanny ability to know exactly where to fog in the rust-colored paint and make it look 100% natural. That's some real talent.
