faux-tina paint jobs

[61_FL_Apache]

I figure I have the perfect flat black base coat for a faux-tina when this coat starts to wear.

You got it! When are you relocating? I'm in Murry Hill, so not too far away. I won't be doing it until the weather gets a bit warmer (huge flakes this morning, good thing it didn't stick) and I get the rust holes patched up.

But if nothing else, I'd like to see yours in person and get some feedback.

I think that looks CQQL

Hey Chizzler, would you mind if I used your truck as an example on the Photobucket section? I wanna do my truck like yours but with different colors. My seats are tan so I was thinking brown as the top coat and black as the base coat coming through. Or if somebody has an opinion on something they think would look better I'd love to hear it, I'm partial color blind and not that great at matching colors up so not real sure how good it'll look.

Wish I had more pictures of it but got lost when comp crashed.

I like this one.

I think you have a great looking truck as it is, why not just color sand the hood only and reclear it, or you could sand it down, fix it, and then reshoot the basecoat and then clear it, you could learn body work and probably end up with a nice looking paint job.

Its also chopped down (it was a long bed).










So i was thinking a faux job might look okay, if I took my time and did it right. Do any of Y'all have tips?
How would it look to take it down to the sheet metal in places and do a diesel oil finish? I'm just rattling off ideas here.

Thanks dudes.

Here ya go Chizzler, this is what they came out with. May just be me but I think it looks pretty dang sharp! Definitely gonna go this route!

[jimmydean]

Damn, I love it. I need to get my interior done before I do too much more on my paint. But I might paint the bed I got since it's mostly bare metal now.

[Miller92]

Hell yea, its pretty kick ass! It'll be a while before I can paint mine like this but I've already started on the black base.

That looks pretty slick, Chizzler. Good color choice, Miller.

[Miller92]

Thanks Bob

Miller92, thanks for posting the big bad brown version of Chizzler's ride. That is darn near spot on what I want to do to my '65. Perhaps with the brown just a shade lighter, kind of like this:

[Miller92]

No problem Roadster. The light brown looks pretty good too!

[JohnOstuff]

Here's mine the way i found it and after some CLR and a handy dandy piece of scotch brite:

I think Chizzler's truck is a good example of a well done faux-tina paint job. It seems like it should be easy to do but a lot of times they just look a little "off". The truck they did on "Trucks!" looked ok but I think they went too far with it. It looked better before they started adding the white and silver.

They showed that truck briefly last weekend (they are rebuilding the 6-er on it) and the shot they chose made the truck look absolutely horrible. I hope to see more of it; at first I liked it but that last time I saw it looked VERY bad.
