Re: faux-tina paint jobs
There is a guy in my area with a mid 60's VW Bug with a faux patina job. It looks like the areas were sanded down to bare metal and then he cleared the whole car. Now its shiny with a patina look. Its cool, but when you get close you see the shine. That part I dont like.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
I thought the faux-tina was soo cool I ordered the video from Trucks. They sent me a video labled faux-tina but it was just a recap of several other episodes. I called their 800 number several times and emailed several times and never got any response. I will never order anything from Trucks or Horsepower TV again.
Thought I would let you know before you get ripped off like I did.

My truck has quite a bit of real patina, so I will use that as a guide if I get around to doing it.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Worst case and you dont like it, repaint it.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Yeah, stick to the online version. Like I said, they sent me the wrong video then ignored all my phone calls and emails. No refund....nothing.

<edit>This is a favorite of mine. I think I have talked myself into doing my truck, only following the existing patina pattern.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
I posted this up many times wish i had more photos. I am really not into the fake patina stuff but when i had my truck the body shop painted it red oxide primer and I ended up not liking the color. So I primered it all black and left the top part white. After sometime I missed the orange color and tried sanding it down and got to tired to finish the sanding and it ended up like this. Wish I had more pictures of it but got lost when comp crashed.

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

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
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.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
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.
