Patina color on car12/6/2023 Its going to be interesting to see how many cars that aren't protected won't stand the test of time. Its easy to create, not so easy to take away.Īt least you (devbear12) made the effort to protect yours from further rot (albeit shiny) I can understand creating the look but just not creating rust. I always advise, its your car do what YOU like. I DO appreciate all types of artistic expression for vehicles, from a snooze cruiser to full Kustom. but I just dont understand the "want" to create rotĪs most know. I like what you new kids call patina and natural age. So maybe deep down you do like the look? Hmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!! And as far as it being rot, we all have our opinions, I am glad I have heard yours!!!!!!!!!!! = rot where does your opinion of it needing to flat or satin. I think the allure of an all original untouched "virgin" is why its so popular these days, especially since real virgins are hard to come by.ĭon't know about that.I just buffed a shitty Earl Schieb ruby red respray and that's what I got.hammered out dents,bondo cracks and prime breakin through when buffed aint not fucking art form.įirst off if you don't like the rust. I agree that faux patina is a fad, just like decklid louvers. In the thread, the chevy hit a deer and had to have a bunch of work done. Search "VOLKSWAGNUT" on YouTube since you cant watch a "certain" BELT change video round here WANTED: Local Eatin' Joints, Triple D for TheSamba contributions here Its your vehicle- stop askin' for approval-do what YOU like for cryin' out loudīetter to roll em' how you want and wear em' out-than lettin' em' rot out If you're gonna clear over and protect the the rot. but I just dont understand the "want" to create rot. I like what you new kids call patina and natual age. NC USAĮven if it is an awesome faux air brush rust job. Not sure if this is the same guy who did the car above but for those who dont want REAL rust this looks pretty good note do not wie acid over rust area or it will simply clean all the rust off and you will have to start over. Leave it alone for two or three days for rust to set in and solidify and clear over top. It will start rusting immediately, to speed up and create nice dark rust heat with heat gun, reapply peroxide as many times as you want to get proper look. then take and fill a spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide and lightly spray over the bare metal. The best way i have found to create patina is sand down whatever you want sanded, and then to rust it take Muriatic acid (used to clean concrete) avail at lowes, and wipe any bare metal with it, not dripping just wipe down. I would use black or whilte unless you want the subtle look I would stick with a contrasting color ie don't use red oxide primer color. The pic from johnnypan shows you what grey would look like. Hadn't seen any good results on that until this pic, looks the most convincing of anything I've seen so far. So if the bug is currently Ruby Red, I need to get some primer (grey, red, or even white) and some ruby red? Im not sure what color underneath I would want to show, black yellowish?īodyshop compound and a dewalt buffer with a sheeps wool. '74 Super Beetle Autox/Track Car/Street Car build VW Beetle Top Gear tested to be the best car to cross the African continent. I have a German look bug, it was built in Germany and looks like it. I'm not knocking the guys truck at all, in fact I think it looks great, I would just want to try different techniques to see if you could make it more convincing.įrom the research I've done it seems that scotch brite type scouring pads, sand paper and even lacquer thinner on a rag are all various ways to remove the paint, but again I would practice on a spare panel or a piece of sheet metal from Lowes/Home Depot. If you notice on the thread I provided the close up of the blue over the black you can see as he sanded the blue off the black shows through in striations rather than a smooth blended area. I think one thing that I want to try that a lot of people don't seem to do is to wet sand the primer color coat. I've seen a variety of methods but most all involve pretty mucht the same thing, apply your primer color (wouldn't suggest using primer since you'll expose it), then your vehicle color, sanding down through the vehicle color to expose the contrasting color beneath. If you have a spare fender, decklid etc you can use it to practice your technique. I particularly like what user "Chizzler" did in this thread There are numerous threads among many forums for many genre's of cars. Does anyone have a good technique to perform a faux-patina look and feel? How do you actually do it?Īny certain type of sandpaper, or paint, chemical stripper to start and make the process happen? I see older posts and wanted to surface this topic again. Posted: Mon 9:47 pm Post subject: The old faux-patina question again Quick sort: Show newest posts on top | Show oldest posts on top
