From what I've read other products such as Gibbs and the like are an oil, which never dries. This product is supposed to dry to a solid finish. Again, this thread is not intended to elicit opinions on patina or not, but rather to investigate the options one may have given their desired results and resources. I know nothing of automotive paint dry times but from what I've seen and read it is a long dry time, perhaps this is similar? Many people wish to not only preserve patina but also highlight it, as shown in several of these posts. I did not try a wet sand as even after several days of dry time it still feels a bit soft. Product has a high gloss sheen and builds up depth (like a polished agate). It's not like you are going to park it back out in a field for a few more decades it won't deteriorate instantly.įollow up after several days of dry time. Really can't imagine why people want to make an old faded, rusty car, etc car shiny. I don't think we need to lock the patina into one 'time'. I daily drove this truck for 11 years, always kept in a shed and it just looked more natural with each year. Taking a piece of old burlap sack I polished the areas of wear, leaving the rest flat. I primed the bed with flat black and mixed up some rustoleum red with flat white house paint, and added some corn starch to further kill the gloss. I was lucky to find a '47 bed that fit it (after narrowing), but it had been painted a metallic blue. My first flathead was a 38 truck with a really ugly and rotten homemade wooden bed. I have never faked a whole car but sometimes we have a really badly damaged fender etc on an otherwise neat original vehicle. Crowns of fenders, especially the fronts a bit burnished from laying across them working on the engine. What I mean is the area where your arm sits on top of the door with the window rolled down, right there it's shiney!. One of the main things that make a real patina work is the varying amounts of gloss to different parts of the vehicle. I have never wanted anything applied over the top to give it an even gloss.
