Re: faux-tina paint jobs
thanks chizzler! Had to fix a coolant leak at the water neck 2 days ago, but was able to go out for a short ride after. Hopefully soon i'll be doing a rear axle swap to 5 lug to match the front, new rear gears, POL trailing arm cross member and some motor work. It has a GM 350 crate motor and a 700R4 trans now, but has highway gears in the rear. Its fun to cruise around in, but lacks the power and rumble i miss. Some good looking trucks on here, any one on here from NJ?
@chuckmc8 LOVE your truck, that is my favorite body style. |

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Apologize if this has been discussed already in this post. However, does anyone have any tips on how one would preserve the real patina on a truck? I.e..truck is lightly rusted, what can be used to preserve that look and prevent further rust?

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
I was just looking at some pics on Pinterest, saw what looks like your rig, or its your twin, same dents in the tool box etc. Only difference was the sign on the door. It's linked to eBay.

It has been a fun truck to own, many people stop by the house and want to buy it for their business. I put air ride on then installed an ls with a 4l80. The cost of all that freaks out the people who think they can take it home for 2 grand! Posted via Mobile Device |

Even then it only slows rust - the steel wants to go home to mommy. It just does it in a time frame humans can't see.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
I'm not sure if he's trying to do Fauxtina, but either way, I think it looks really cool!

I think the way you did just a very discreet sand-through helps with making it look close to real.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
I always wondered how it would work to use a sand blaster from a distance. Or to drag the panels across some sand.
