Re: PATINA Opinions
Ruining good surviving paint makes no sense to me.

Re: PATINA Opinions
^^^ 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.

Re: PATINA Opinions
Do you guys define this as patina or just rust ? Pickup sat untouched for over twenty years.

Re: PATINA Opinions
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.
