The Ratmaro gets Poppy's Patina! (but WHY?)

In this episode we use the Poppy's Patina wipe on clearcoat system on our rough and rusty 1969 Chevy Camaro known as Ratmaro! We want to try and keep the "patina" our muscle car has while giving the colors a cool satin sheen to help them pop. Problem is this car is rough with all the flaking Bondo, porous rust areas, and cracking, peeling paint. How do you even do the prep work on a car this bad? Well, there's only one way to find out if this will improve the Ratmaro, so let's get to work!
Follow along with @hammersgarage as we build something badass out of a ratty Camaro carcass!

I just put the gloss on my sanded down old single stage blue paint on my 56 f100. All I will say is don’t expect anything close to a spray on clear coat finish. This stuff is meant for old burnt out patina cars/trucks. If you wipe it on a car that still has full paint coverage it is very streaky and uneven unless you spray it on. Also, it dries VERY fast. If you lay it on thick it runs and if you lay it on thin you won’t get coverage. In addition, the applicator they supplied was leaving tons of lint behind. Pretty frustrating experience overall. My final impression is that this stuff should only be applied to vehicles with substantial patina/oxidation. Unless you are spraying it, you will not be happy with the end result on a car that has full paint coverage underneath

[@jamessmith7234]

Turned out better than I thought but u r right streaks have to go

[@hammersgarage]

Agreed!

[@myoneblackfriend3151]

My truck has a surface that presents similar challenges to your car. I refer to it as an active surface. I am looking forward to seeing how you navigate it.

[@hammersgarage]

Active. I like it.

[@gvxclassics]

It looks ... Better, good, nice work.. . May do to my pick-em-up some day.

[@freshbutplain1144]

Nice! I may use this poppy’s down the road.

[@hansjensen7823]

Looks great!

[@davidjessee7701]

Dude if you took a flap disk to all the high stuff and the loose stuff then actually cleaned and dried then followed the directions the car would have looked amazing

[@hammersgarage]

Probably so. We’ll do some more prep work later before we spray it. Thanks!

[@mblake0420]
