I don't know if this is the one that you were thinking about but on page 51 on the February 2005 Issue they have a Patina Painted '52 Ford F-1
(Please don't flame me for the 2 Fords in the last 2 posts. Keep in mind - both the '32 and the '52 were SB Chevy Powered.


The aretical doesn't go into as much detail as the one on the '32 but basically they:
Sprayed it with
1. Heavy Layers of Oxide Red Primer
2. Stock Green

Then
3. Brushed a Thick Layer of Flat black on the entire thing
Then
4. Sprayed a Blue Tinted Primer

Then I'm assuming scotch paded out areas of "high wear" and air brushed Rust spots on the truck.

The article also gives the impression that they mixed metal shavings from the shop floor into the tintable Blue Primer - but I highly Doubt that happend.

Also a pretty sweet looking "Fauxtina" truck

This issue also has an article starting on page 40 about some other trucks done like this. It doesn't really say how they did it ..just shows some pictures of them all done. Page 42 has a nice '59 Apachie with "Cooter's Garage" on the doors...
