Man, I really like your faux-tina process. I've been thinking of doing something like this with my '66 GMC step-side, and this may be exactly what I do! Thank you!
Great video, I’m matching replacement fenders on my 63 and just doing the paint and wet sand spots wasn’t turning out like the original patina on the rest of the truck, about to try these methods now 🙌🏻
That coffee and sand trick is amazing! I’m really tempted to try this on my 59 Ford Consul… It’s currently satin black so I guess just a light coat of brown/red oxide first then a final layer of black on the coffee should give some good effects. Worst case is repaint it all black if it doesn’t work!
I think it came out great. I would go over those sponge spots with a really fine Scotch Brite. I think what looks unnatural is when you have two conflicting sheens. Also adding some different sizes of media into your coffee grounds will add to the randomness of the overall effect.
Better than "Pretty good" I would say! Great job! I am keen to get on with my Baja Bug and its fibreglass fenders now. 😉 I don't have the funds to paint it properly right now so this will really do the trick nicely. Thank you!
Been looking for ideas and thought about doing this to mine but slightly different. Want to spray 1st coat with aged copper. The coffee idea may be the way to go. Then spray black over it. Guess I will see how it works out. Thanks for the tips.
I used to do something similar with rock salt to battle distress paint nerf guns back in the day lol. It's what gave me the idea to put a medium down to remove. Works better on something small like a model, but you can also use mustard, paint over it when it dries and then flake it off. Thanks for watching.
Great job! I would suggest to orhers to try using zep high traffic floor polish as a clear coat of sorts. It does the same thing that poppys does at 1/4 the price.
@CLASSICSAREBETTER I did it on my 54 chev, and it turned out great. They say one has to do it every few years, which is no different than poppy's. I spent like 25 bucks at my local store. They also have a high gloss as well.
love the idea and the work you put in. I have a 79 ranger i want to patina, have of it is primer and the rest is factory. I want to do the same thing you did but worried about the primer. Can i go right over it or do I need to sand It down. thanks!
The primer should work just fine, you be doing quite a bit of sanding anyway to get down the "patina" layer. The red and black rattlecans I used as a base layer where one of those paint and primer combos.
So excited to see this video pop up today! Great job dude. Looks 10x better than the sanded bondo! I didn't realize you had a gmc hood! I ha e a gmc tailgate I may run and I'd like to find a gmc front end. I just like the look. Wrenched on my 65 today and got the timing set a little better. Also figured out the distributor vacuum advance hose was on the wrong port on the carb. Made a huge difference. Now I just gotta get my lift setup! Waiting on wiring to get here nest week!
Thanks brother! I really appreciate that, I always wanted a light green patina C10 and could never afford one, so I just made it! Truck had the GMC hood on it when I bought it and I dug the look, I have the original C10 one, but its primer and rusty not in a good way lol. Gotta do whatever make you happy, none of this stuff is for SEMA. I like the GMC headlights for sure. Glad you got yours running better, funny how the little stuff makes such a difference. We all need some video updates now that you have a collection dude!
@@CLASSICSAREBETTER Yeah I definitely need to do a new update video but I'm more focussed on getting my lift installed and wired and getting the new truck on its way to having some attitude. Also I really want to get out my full video on my shop build to hopefully help other people that want to build see what that process and price looks like and how it breaks down.
Looks great. I have a 1979 Jeep Wagoneer that I'm going to Patina out. I'm even looking at some Weathered Jerry Can for the back. Keep it up Bud and like me....ignore all opinions.
Oh wow i just love your truck and the patina you applied. I was wondering what is the name of this color green? Live to use this shade of green by myself....
Thank you! I used about 90% of a quart of Chevy 503 Light Green. Just wanted it thick enough I could get coverage, but still be able to sand through pretty easy.
I'd like to find a matching light blue patina GMC hood for my 65 C!0, & wish I had a shop to work on it too. Any suggestions on where I should get a fuel tank? Fumes are killing me having it in the cab.
The shop has been a blessing, I built it back in 2017 instead of buying a new car, drove my old ride at the time into the ground, but it was well worth it lol. I got my fuel tank at LMC truck (17 gallon). I have build playlist for my c10 if you bored, here is a link to the gas tank video. th-cam.com/video/KRDC4_YSDfw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=i9y2hTBXhrQXexYY
I have a 66 C10 that I frame up restored myself. I painted it myself too. The paint just isn't good enough for a shiny paint truck. So, I'm considering a faux-tina job. Can I faux-tina the truck if I've already painted the truck?
Thank you for watching. I don't see why you couldn't do it after paint. You'll have to scuff up the clear coat so your new paint sticks on top, but that's the advantage of the faux patina, it's supposed to look kinda crazy. What color is your truck painted now?
The color is Chevy 503 light green, but I bought it as a one stage acrylic enamel which kinda has the gloss mixed in, so it had a semi gloss finish to it right after I sprayed, then I wet sanded it with out realizing I can't spray a clear now and I will have to wax. I would suggest a 2 stage paint, that way you can do whatever you want paint wise, then go back and do whichever clear you prefer. Best of luck on your project!
Mine wasn't rusty underneath, only issue I had was some bondo from previous owner, I just made sure to hit that with a good primer first as paint and bondo don't like each other. If you have rust and don't want it to show through I would def sand it down some before paint then primer it or use a chemical rust encapsulator then paint.
So I was using a black primer/paint, mostly used it to focus on covering the bondo and bright yellow old paint areas, that way if I burned thru it wouldn't be so blatant. Main thing is to get your "rust" color spread everywhere and make sure to get it thick in the areas your going to sand on. Start on your tailgate or something to practice and you'll find your "look" quick. Good luck!
The green is Chevy 503 Light Green, the brown and red are just from a rattle can, the red was redoxide, used satin and flat black, and I think the brown was called leather brown. Thank for watching!
It's Chevy 503 Light Green with a little extra black mixed in, my LED shop lights just give it a bit of a blue-ish look inside, it's def a light green when the sun hits it. Thank you for watching!
@@CLASSICSAREBETTER I had an old black BMW, it was falling apart a bit so for a laugh I put some badges and a chrome decal to make it into the GTA version, the Ubermacht Sentinel. I've just got another old BMW, once it starts to need replacements I would definitely think about doing that again. Although that said, in the two years I drove it like that I had one guy taking a picture, and it could just be I'd pissed him off Still it was good fun to do, and nice to have something unique
You know, this has crossed my mind, I haven't done it yet. Have you had any experience with the gloss vs matte? I went with Poppys for the wipe on ease and found out I can't do that with spray paint. Trying to think of a way to knock my gloss down to a semi gloss would be good too. I am open to suggestions. I normally use linseed oil, so this is my first clear coat adventure.

Because he shared with other people that like that look, why not paint it properly? Because not everything is meant to be painted like a show car all this man did was exactly what he said he was going to do and I think he did an amazing job with it, not everybody has the same taste or ideas just because you like something proper shiny and perfect. Does it mean that the next guy does just like you may like pineapple on your pizza but somebody else don’t it is your preference you are supposed to enjoy your vehicle and you can only enjoy your vehicle if it is to your standards and specifications that makes you happy.
@@tinnedanger well opinions are just like one’s anus everybody has one, and everyone of them are different. Everybody is welcome to their own opinion or their own feeling of what they like or what they deem to make them happy, so why shoot one man’s dream down just because yours is different think about that for a minute think about that next time somebody says something you did is crazy or silly or wrong, I mean seriously why are you even watching the content if you don’t like it just so you can say something crappy?
People spend many thousands of dollars building show vehicles that are so slick. They’re scared to death to drive them, cause they might get a gravel chip,that just doesn’t sound like any fun to me at all. I’d rather have something like this that I don’t have to wash and wax all the time and just have fun with it and give people rides and if kids get on it ok they learn some history of old vehicles 😊

Don’t use the gloss! Use matte. Please.
