Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Is it considered "faux-tina" if i didn't do it?! My '61 came to me like this and I've discovered at least 3 colors over top of the original, plus the layers of primer from each spray job. The top grey appears to be a non-auto paint that was brushed or rolled on and is very inconsistent. My guess was someone was trying to stop the rust that she has all over. I've rebuilt the engine and cleaned up the engine bay for a small wow factor when the hood is popped, but want the patina/rat rod/survivor look on the exterior.
I'm thinking of attacking her with some sand paper and scotch pads to get something a little more consistent between panels and overall. Any suggestions on if I should try to add paint before, during or after i've knocked down what's there?
