Factory white exterior paint with red interior would really make this jewel shine. I like the patina look but this classic has the right exterior and interior color combination to showcase this project, from basket case to a nice driver. It would really be something to see all done up.
The Patina Craze is about as up to date as bobby sox, tatoos, scruff beards, men's ponytails, black wheels, and nose rings. Like Hell's Angels, we should all look alike and follow the crowd!
Not a patina fan. I think it's run its course...kinda like sideways mud flaps, fuzzy dice and dingle balls. That said it's my opinion. Everyone has to please themselves. I like a nice red with white insets . Opposite of original.
The 1962 "Polar white" will go well with the interior, I would have done it in "Cobalt blue" but that does not go well with the interior and to be picky the Lancer was never available in cobalt blue either, but I think Stone soup deserves some paint.
After all this car has gone through, it should be done right or it wasn't worth following this. They.ve made such a bug deal out of it that if it still looks like junk, it was a wasted effort.
I have a 1947 DeSoto that is black and hasn't been painted. The paint is in fair shape. There is something about these older cars that look "shop worn" that shows they are warriors from another time. It's a look that's lost when they are painted, especially in base/clear coat. When I see barn finds on TH-cam they have that" time travel" look. I must admit that I would paint my car because making it look new is too tempting. But I was thinking of maybe a satin black instead of gloss which might still retain the older look that has been through a few years of weathering.
Well said. It does show the true history of the car. Once that blanket of paint is added, the old history is covered and cannot be returned. If it does goes black I think a satin or "hot rod" black would be appropriate.
it"s gonna be an oven in the summer if you paint it black. You'll be able to cook breakfast on your way to work in the morning. Cook the bacon and eggs on the dashboard, and make the biscuits in the glove compartment. I'll never own another black car as long as I live.

This one is a little too far gone to go down the patina road. I'd go with Wimbledon white. That would probably be pretty close to the color it was when it rolled off the assembly line.
My budget would depend on what happens with the paint. I love the patina look awesome. I also like nice paint. But cost of painting is expensive. But rust o lum paint done right looks awesome as well. And certainly something i would do. As long as the drive train is 100%. Just enjoy the ride
I'm a MoPar guy and '62 Lancers are among my favs - that said, it's not worth a serious cosmetic restoration. I'm torn between keeping the overall patina and blending in the rust repair or a white tractor paint job with red factory accents. Doing a budget clean all red interior is a must either way.
The 'forward look' cars are crazy cool in my book. Personally I like to see all the money go to the engine, drivetrain and interior... I like a shiny paint job just like everyone, but I'm the first one to accidentally bump a door or knock something over in the garage. I've seen where people put a thin coat of paint matching the original color and then 'burn through' by sanding the new paint to get the right amount of patina. That's a lot of work but it does look nice.
@@snake_eyes_garage functionality first. I think that’s where the patina craze started. Make them run and get them on the road first. Shiny stuff comes second.
talk about romancing the stone... it's rust. Patina is in Rome. I'd like to see the net with yet another Rust-O-Leum "TURBO" paint job... your choice of color, as long as its black or white.. you might find a gray in that too.
If painted I think it would need the trim and bumpers slick and rechromed, straight grille and such, but if those things are left as is I'd leave the patina.👍
@@junkyard_D I have seen a road toad that color and it really looked good. I'm working on a 62 valiant and that is the color I will paint it. I'm thinking colored primer, color coat, clear, clear with metallic and possibly a little Perl in it topped with clear on mine.
Patina always seemed like. the lazy way out do some proper rust and body repaires then paint the car a gunmetal or light gray I think would go good with the red interior.
Never do a cheap “quickie” paint job on a rough car using black paint. Black will show every body work flaw on the car! In the end, it’s just going to look like a cheap paint job; it will still look like crap … just shiny crap! Instead, stick with light colors that tend to hide the flaws. This car is white and thats pretty much the most forgiving color to hide amateur body work, the dents you missed, or the ones you were too lazy to fix.
@@junkyard_D the 68 charger gold has the right kind of look I think for the Lancer myself but we all have our own taste put some old style steel wheels n dog dish hub caps on give it a little rake put you a 360 in it be a sharp car just my opinion
There's patina and then there's just downright neglect. I'm sorry, Stone Soup has blown right through "cheeky", through "taking the piss", completely through "patina" into outright neglect. I'm sorry.... when you can literally see through most of the car.... that's no longer patina.... it's downright illegal. Now, I'm not saying let's do a $50,000-dollar full-blown restoration on this car but..... let's at least give it the old backyard blow-out and patch the holes in the floor with license plates, patch the holes in the body with chicken wire, expanding foam and bondo and do Earl Sheib proud and spend at least $36-dollars on some single stage paint.

Patina is dumb on anything but A vintage 20s 0r 30s pickup. If someome came to you with 2 identical classics 1 with patina and one with a new paint job and you could have one. Who would choose the one with patina over the painted one.
With the cost of paint & supplies plus the labor involved in making a car beautiful, plus add in the cost of the car itself & all of the parts to make that vehicle work properly, patina isn't going anywhere! Getting that vehicle running & driving so you can have fun with it & not worry about where you park it or stone chips or bugs or inconsiderate people, again, patina is the way to go!
@@junkyard_D Sorry my bad, red below the window. Looks like a GT model. There is a molding strip that starts on one side just below the rear side window and goes to the front then across the cowl area then ends on the other side in the same spot. From m there to the window should be red but if the car was red it should be white. Look up some pics of them on the internet and you will see what I mean.
If it’s going to be black then there is hours of body work . If that’s in the cards black is my vote! If it isn’t then patina may be the way to go . Some shine juice may be the thing !
I dont know why, you so called mechanics, address the main issue, which is, Fix the engine and driveline, so it will start and run, and drive, everything that all you different guys have done is okay, but it doesn't correct the main issue. Fix the damn engine first!!!!!!!!
Patina, is a fancy word for RUST, AND CORROSION. which everyone knows is not a good thing. Its a relatively new term that caught on like wildfire. In the old days having a rusty looking car was a very negative thing, and people wha had the money would get their car repainted before it got to the point that rust got a hold of it. Now we have people who cant afford, or won't spend the money to paint their cars persuading people into thinking rust and corrosion on a car is COOL AND DESIRABLE. And started using the term PATINA, to make it sound cool. Certainly saying my car has BEAUTIFUL PATINA, sounds much better than truthfully saying, My car has rusted and corroded beautifully.
@@johnfranklin5277 it has been done. It has been overdone. What I do like about the patina movement is it may have saved some of the old cars as people put more importance on getting the vehicle operational first, then worried about the looks. I think all the classics should be saved. 😊
@johnfranklin5277 well that is certainly an opinion. You know what they say about everyone having an opinion, right? We can now preserve a car's antique appearance and stop the spread of rust without spending a fortune on repainting an entire car needlessly. A freshly painted show car doesn't do much for me. I'd prefer people to drive their cars and spend their time and money on keeping them on the road.
That's not patina thats rust paint it with cheap tractor paint. These fenders are old and beat up they will never be perfect unless you want to spend 6 months on body work so just go with a cheap color.
