Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Sanded a little on the bed and started installing the bed wood.

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
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!

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Truck is finally together. Still gonna fine tune a few areas that I think can be better. Raining and nasty weather here. Hopefully get some outside shots soon.

Re: faux-tina paint jobs
Your fauxtina paint job turned out pretty damn nice. I'm doing a similar paint job on my 56 shop truck build in a couple months. The way I'm doing mine only has a couple minor differences. I'll be spraying the entire body in black epoxy primer to seal and protect the metal and then spray some hot rod flats paint over top and sanding through. The spots where I want to sand will be lightly sprayed so I can age the paint to look more natural.
It's a great effect that anyone could pull off in their own garage in a weekend, I love it Posted via Mobile Device

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
How well does this protect the truck from rust/etc? I wouldnt mind doing this to my primered truck but not if it is going to rust out underneath...
