Re: faux-tina paint jobs
This is my 37 and it's all Faux-Tina. I even have pics of the whole process. The bottom of the doors had putty in so I dug it out and there was sheet metal welded in and dented. So with alot of work I left the putty out and showed the crude metal work. If you look close enough you can see it at the door bottom.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Made a paint both in the basement and painted the bed and bedstrips today. Next step will be wet sanding the bed to get patina look.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
I have been working on the rear fenders and sidesteps. It is getting closer every day. I got 1 fender halfway mounted. It is hard to hang them by myself. Waiting for some help to finish. I never dreamed when I started painting it myself that I would be so happy with the final product. Maybe I have inspired others to go for it and build what you like. Here are a few more pictures of progress.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Looks Great! How about a picture of the truck all together outside.
Inspired, indeed you have. Do you think you could give me a run down on how you did everything from the start, paint prep, and sand paper ect. Thank you. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Thank you clemdaddy!! I appreciate the nice comments. I do love the way it has turned out. It is my creation and I did it through my eyes. I think alot of the faux patina is done over kill or too much of it. I just tried to make it look like it is an old truck that has been modernized.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Your truck came out amazing! Yours is the best faux-tina job i've seen. I have been debating on doing it myself but I haven't seen any that i like except yours. Good Job!

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Thank You 62barnfind. I debated myself for a long time. The truck actually set at a body shop for 5 months waiting for its turn while I was debating. Finally decided to bring it home and do it myself. So glad I did!!

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Since this thread is back at top, I realized I hadn't added any outside pics of truck. Here they are.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
I've been considering this for some time. The existing paint is an old job - apparently 15 years or so. There are a couple of blisters that need fixing, and a couple of scrapes. It's burgundy with a wee bit of flake in it, but when I removed the bed we found the original orangey-red underneath. I'm considering seeing how the burgundy looks with the red poking through. Worst-case scenario is that it will need a respray, but it needs that now, so nothing ventured, nothing gained. Reading through this post is very helpful

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Subscribed....My son and I painted our truck with Rustoleum 2x in a dark satin red with the traditional white top. I did this knowing it would fade out evenly to look old but after reading this post I am tempted to start scuffing up and assisting in the aging process. The truck was originally white and had a red and then a blue paint job on top of that. We used flat black primer over that then the current satin red paint. Hummm so tempted!
