Tell your tricks?

OK, a lot of the rat trucks I see on here and all over the net have some sort of painting/saying on the doors. It usually matches the rest of the vehicle as far as wear and tear so I'm wondering what the trick is to making it look that way after you paint it on?

 

the new issue of streetrodder has an article on patina.

 

AGAIN ??

Fake Patina must be the new Billet.

 

If it`s "fabricated" is it really "patina" ?

 

Have ya' ever noticed that sometimes you kind'a know how something is going to turn out,... even before it happens ???

 

Ha!

 

Use my patented three step process.

Step 1: Paint the truck


Step 2:



Step 3:

 

another day , another trashed monitor ROFLMAO!!

 

Wow, "rat truck" is a new one...

The term "rat" connected with anything automotive has a tendancey to bring on lots of criticism.

I'll go get some popcorn ready

 

hahahahaha, step 3, car prolly smells like a truckstop bathroom

 

A lot of the rat trucks on here? On here? Which ones would those be?

 

This is a rat truck;



The rest of 'em are jalopies.
Oh and the patina and rust are real.

As for door signs, pay someone a ton of money to letter it then when its dry take some steel wool to it.

 

rat truck?? WTF is a rat truck??? i havent seen any of those on here,
are you some kind of ***hole??

 

I could go for a few "Step 2s" right about now.

 

WOW... Looks like I opened my mouth and stepped into a big pile of heeping cow ****.

I meant all the nicely painted show trucks that remind me of something Foose has created......

Even after this thread is closed/deleted, I feel I've done my job if only one or two newbs read tmy post, and the stuff in red sinks in.

 

lettering on the door is called pinstriping... unless you go cheap and get a vinyl sign cut... but it just isnt the same.... fake patina is stupid, and should never be done

 

WOOOOOOO!!

4t64rd - guess I missed that. Maybe it should be a sticky or one of those things that you read one sentence at a time upon sign up, clicking that you have read and understand each and every "suggestion" before clicking ahead and signing on.
How many people would choose not to enlist if they really knew what this place was about? It would cut down on the repe***ive *** chewings every week ... but I suppose that would take a lot of fun away for a lot of us.

 

P*** that popcorn over here please
dave

 

popcorn p***ed

 

holy **** man...did you even bother reading ANYTHING when you signed on here or did you just ***ume that any old modified car without paint is a rat rod. then, you go from one end of the spectrum ALL the way to the total opposite end whilst neglecting that there must be something in the middle. explore a little. read a little. sit back and figure things out. and for ****'s sake, don't go spouting rat, billet, modern engines, fake patina, replacing the letter "c" with a "k," replacing the letter "s" with "z" or being ignorant in general as a new guy. keep that in mind, you might fit in around here...otherwise, buzz off and put some fake patina on that **** plug of yours so you feel "kool" while you sit on it.

 

Is this a rat truck because it has the disabled symbol on the licence plate ?

 

Probably none... Hopefully, most times the digital corporal punishment dished out works better than being s**** fed the "guidlines".

If your widdle biddy ego gets bwoosed, you weren't all that interested in the gospel we're spreadin' anyway, go away.

 

So I guess no ones gonna answer my question?......

You gotta love the ******** folks.....

 

The term "rat", I believe comes from the wonderful world of ******** bikers back in the day. Motorcycles that were rode hard and never cleaned, usually coated with surface rust and sun flattened paint. These were called rats, rat bikes or rat ****s as in, "Hey bro, I dig that rat **** scoot your jammin' on!". These terms were in no way a put down and were in fact terms of endearment, as it meant that the owner rode hard and was in no way a weekend warrior or wanna be. These bikes were created by Mother Nature and time and were a badge of honor. To build one, would usually be looked down on and sometimes get your melon thumped!. Then some ***hole from some magazine came along and dropped the term (not knowing it's true meaning) on what were traditional hot rods and as they say, The rest is history.

 

Go back and read it ALL again your question was answered in between your bollocking !
