I can live with them.I just want to have something I can drive and not worry about a body job and paint that I have a million hours into.Get into it and drive.......

I guess this qualifies as faux-tina

Should drive the chevy and find a ford or dodge to rot away in the ground though. LOL

I had no idea patina was so popular until recently. Yeah, I'm a bit behind. Searching ebay under Cars & Trucks for the word "patina" under "sold" and it's just nuts. $8K and up for any ole pos as long as it has patina and 18-20s. Crazy. Makes me thinks there's some money to be made in old trucks for a change.

And here I've always sprayed a coat of primer over all my patina vehicles so they wouldn't stand out so much. Lot of that has to do with the area I lived in ctrl FL where you WILL get pulled over of you stand out. So glad to be gone from there. Gave up my 64 gmc to do so though.

When I was in the sign business, I did a lot of Disney stuff and there was one job where the finish had to be aged and rusted. Trick was, everything was fabbed out of aluminum. They got some product that could be sprayed or drooled on, pt1, then another product was sprayed on and over time it would rust pt2. Time was anywhere from an hour to overnight. Pt3 was a clear coat and it would stop the rust/reaction. This was real rust because the first product had iron dust in it but it was on brand new paint and could be put on anything really. Plastic, wood, whatever. I'll have too see if I can find out what it was. That would be the ticket. Realistic yet no metal harmed. Get sick of it, sand it off and paint it.

I might be wrong, but this kinda looks like it was faked (fauxtina):

This is the work of Jerome Borris-a true master of the craft. Its not actually 'fake patina' but patina paint as an art form.Also check out his airbrush work. Amazing!

The lack of dents and no rust in the fender pockets are always a clue.

[clemdaddy]

I agree that the lack of dents and scratches are a big giveaway. Say you do the metal work and patch work good but leave some of the dents and other slight damage that comes with time, as is, not repaired. Then enhance those imperfections with your faux-tina work… perhaps then it would seem more natural.

This is a faux job we did last year. Looking forward to doing better the next time, already got it in the works…

Floor boards, kicker panels, roof and cowl I say fix, but rust, or even some rot at lower door corners, cab corners, or the rear lower portion of the hood, I think could be left alone. I mean it's a faux-tina paint job.
This one for example, it looks to have some rotted out areas. Also, I wonder if they didn't line up the bed and fenders to the cab deliberately.

Lastly my 1991 short bed. All have original patina. I love that look and don't ever have to worry about rain or someone touching them. I have 3 show vehicles and the last four I have built or bought are full patina versions.
