Does this qualify as patina?

The box came from a different truck, but original metal and paint all around on this one.

Re: Post your patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
I think my poor ‘69 spent the first 45 years in the sun. Serious question, can body parts that are so rough to the touch from surface rust be salvaged and painted successfully?

Re: Post your patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
Yes . It's a matter of nuetrilizing the rust either mechanically or chemically then epoxy prime followed up with high build primer and lots of blocking. Skim coat of polyester putty works well too.
