I want some honest remarks!!!
I had a great stock patina look when i got it but i was so hung up on painting it i want the old look back!
Never tried this before but does this look clearly a fake tina job....?
It does look better in person i think...
Let me know Keep it or Lose it...

carnuts07 · 03-08-2010, 09:04 AM

ChopperDr · 03-08-2010, 09:12 AM

carnuts07 · 03-08-2010, 09:32 AM

looks fake

67chevy2wd · 03-08-2010, 09:50 AM

Looks good but the rest of the paint is too shiny. Maybe it is just wet? Either way I love the patina look so I would leave it.

Muleman100 · 03-08-2010, 10:25 AM

You can tell at first glance that it is not the real deal. I would get rid of it.

816allen · 03-08-2010, 01:33 PM

It is wet and needs some more marks here and there mostly the side of hood but its dry now ill take some out side pics for ya of the faketina fatina lol I should of never painted it ....I hate doin things on impulse!

816allen · 03-08-2010, 02:04 PM

Well i did do more pics but it does look fake im thinkin just sand off all the black or most of it leave some parts like grill or something alone for now it seems to be a cream color and i would much rather have that!

allmixedup · 03-08-2010, 02:24 PM

I voted keep it..... Its hard to tell since its wet. It looks like the bottom half needs a little sanding. Just my opinion though.

Apache63 · 03-08-2010, 02:41 PM

KEEP IT!!!!!

This is to much Patina!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pat

SIR · 03-08-2010, 03:30 PM

MacAttack · 03-08-2010, 03:49 PM

Flat black and a bit of super fine paper - perfect.

63 extreme low · 03-08-2010, 04:16 PM

I would put a door and hood on it and make it drive!!! Love patina fake or real.

**ChiefRocka** · 03-08-2010, 04:24 PM

Keep it as is bro....I wish my truck was an OG color with Patina...now I'm gonna have to fake it...

protrash64 · 03-08-2010, 05:35 PM

I'm going middle of the road here. I say finish what you're doing and if it doesn't look right then finish sanding or repaint.

pulltilbroke · 03-08-2010, 06:03 PM

IMO its not right to fake patina,it has no character, its gotta be the real deal for me.

I'd give er some fresh paint
