Re: PATINA Opinions

Ruining good surviving paint makes no sense to me.

^^^ This

It's not real patina if you make it. You could shoot it in three colors and sand through them too, but it wouldn't be legit.

Right now, it's too legit, so quit. Looks good as it is.

I don't get the attraction to "patina."

Some people are for "patina" and others aren't so it's in the eye of the beholder. Personally I think rust is rust, there's not denying it and calling it patina to make a buck like most guys seem to do these days.

Re: PATINA Opinions

All I know is the last time I had "Olivia" at a gathering of collector cars and trucks she got a lot more attention then most restored pickups ! Partly because a lot of people remember her delivering furniture to their homes years ago. But just as meny enjoyed that it was mostly original and unmolested.

They deff get attention none the less. I just find it funny when guys have obviously rusty trucks and try to sell them way over priced as patina or survivor trucks when they are nothing of the sorts. I daily beat my classics usually so I can't do real nice paint jobs as they get scratched real fast, but I hate rust also lol
