Pictures of new paint that looks old

DAMM I got to go Pour some Concrete -I'll be back with some popcorn

 

Here's my '69 Trump Bobber.

I started with a good primer, added a couple coats of Brown, a couple White, and finished with a good gloss Black.

Then the fun starts. You slowly wet sand with some 2000 grit. Pay attention to where the sun would naturally fade, and in this case, where your legs would rub.

 

use old paint.

 

Did this one about 5 years back

 

Did that once, when I was a kid with no money ... I didn't want the rapid deterioration into patina, but I sure got it.

 

preworn jeans, relic'd guitars and faux patina are all trends that I wish would die.

 

So, I drive my avatar everyday... Patina out the ass, all earned the old fashion way! What's the most popular question? When ya gonna' paint it? Are you gonna restore that? I don't want a pretty shiny paint job to worry about, just another clean coat of primer to make it look like I care... Primer it and let patina take care of itself. You'd be surprised at fast it will. I don't mind fake patina stuff, just when it gets over board and includes rust holes on glass cars, trite old timey signs that just don't fit the car, that sort of stuff.

 

I drive mine everwhere -except to Concrete Pours - started out with FAKE PATINA -turned into THE REAL SHIT

Turned up this thread looking for tips on doing an aged finish, that door edweird did and the cars concretman posted are the best IMO. That Rolling Boners look is what I'm hoping to capture.

 

My wife and I are still on the fence about this one. Paint it or leave it as is.

 

I say leave it, it just adds character!

 

I hate to drag up an old thread but your car is the tits man. And you're right, hot rodding is about doing your own thing and adding your own flavour.
