fixed my patina
know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I like a truck with some patina ,as I also like and respect a nice paint job. to me this old truck looked just right other than the half ass rattle can paint job on the passenger quarter panel. afterwards a trip to the salvage yard I found a matching bed side. a few hours and $40 later this is how it looks now ,almost perfect match other than the one reverse

Don't know yet, I might I want to see how the job at work turns out first, if it looks good then yes.

Re: fixed my patina
The clear coats that i have seen I didn't like, I just wipe mine down with WD-40.

Re: fixed my patina
How often are you guys that use WD40 applying it? I need to do something to protect a few sratched and scraped panels on the inside of the bed sides and tailgate on mine.
Thanks. |
