Re: What is the deal with "patina"?

American Heritage dictionary college edition. Patina: A thin layer of corrosion, usually brown or green, that appears on copper or copper alloys, such as bronze, as a result of natural or artificial oxidation. 2. The sheen produced by age and use on any antique surface. Granted it doesn't say rust. But rust is "oxidation." |

Yeah, and here's a good example of one of our trucks. This pic has been posted on here a lot already...

Re: What is the deal with "patina"?
if we are gonna complain about the mis use of the word in it's self, what about how everyone tosses around the term restored on here.
old words get new meanings all the time. |

Re: What is the deal with "patina"?
hey 67 chevy redneck where is that truck from? it looks very similar to mine ,i have a 69 though. and by the wayi like patina,the last two trucks i had were both show quality vehicles one of them was in several mags. but i found when i drove them around i was always real nervous about someone hitting me or going somewhere and someone keying them. with a patina style vehicle you dont really have to worry that much.

Re: What is the deal with "patina"?
I didn't refer to a dictionary, so thanks for the info. Hot Rod magazine did the feature on producing a patina on a vehicle that couldn't possible have any rust (i.e. a fiberglass body). In their article, the intent was to introduce the look of a finish that had been compounded and waxed over the years, when it was actually a new paint job.
If a patina can include surface rust, I got patina. But in keeping with HRM's process, I got that covered, too. Only thing is, my patina is legit. Do any of those definitions include multi-colored primers in the big picture of a patina? I got that, too. |

Re: What is the deal with "patina"?
I agree on '' restore '' Andy. To me it means return to orginal or stock condtion. I like the term ''build or built''. Broader range, restore isn't 18's and air bags or shaved and crated. I've corrected several on mine, not restorin' just tryin' to build her back!! LOL!!

Re: What is the deal with "patina"?
I agree that patina can be the tarnished surface of an antique, but I like the "Rustina" line [thank you 68gmsee] to describe a rusted truck. That works well with me.

a beater is a beater, a turd is a turd.
Mine is both |
Re: What is the deal with "patina"?
Rat Rodding is building a rod from what you have, not the limit on your credit card. The culture is definitely anti bling. The years that are reconized are from 1930 to 1964. The term patina funny enough is an outsider term as this term is not used much by Rat Rodders. Yes I agree with you guys that Rat Rodding is not for me but each to his own. I like Corn have seen my fare share of red, bagged trucks (don't get me wrong here as I like them) but lets just say I wouldn't make a big effort to go out of my way to a car show to see them. I've seen some neat rat rods and I've seen junk, it might surprise you that some rat rodders own other rides like muscle cars, Vettes etc. as well as their rat. Sometimes the shiny full of bling thing gets dull and it's nice to have a change or share someone elses experience to round it all out. Just my HO & .02 worth.

yep, I've always said you can't polish a turd, and I've also always said a piece of sh!t painted gold, is still a piece of sh!t

Re: What is the deal with "patina"?
Kind of like, the white spec on top of chicken sh!t, is still chicken sh!t. I agree.

I can't wait to see what the patina/oxidation/original faded paint looks like on my burb when I get through rubbing it.
I think the hood has been painted , so I need to find a nice original blue hood with the black primer showing through. You can tell by looking at the rear panel that there will be some good "PATINA" effect when I get finished. |
