Q - How to give paint patina (Sunny Citrus)?

send em to me for a full patina and sign writing job ;D






*not as expensive as you might think!!*

i agree with foxy on this,fake patina never looks as good as the real thing,thats why most go for the rusty patina because its more likely to look right,cool idea though post some pics if you do it would love to have a look

Yawn. Just as well it's mine and yours. Wouldn't want to upset you with my plans.

;D

remember that vim scouring powder stuff ... was wondering what sorta effect that would have if ya scrubed some on the paint... ill go for a walk round asda car park later and get back to you with the results !!

its not bad to make it look reasonble

if its a whole new paint job decide what colour you want to see on worn spots , so lets say a browny rust colour , once prepped lash plenty of this brown onto the door tops and edges where you plan to see it , maybe a bit of grey prime in places too , really lash it on so its rough and splattered looking

then on the with the topcoat of your choice , purposley go light on the area where you want it to look worn away

once dry go at it with wet n dry until the under laying colours show up , then hit it with a scotch pad , you can use them cut round and stuck on a da sander

for added effect you can tint the top coat and have a slightly out of match panel , or some misted in touch ins on the arch or something

just have a really good look at a proper worn car and make sure you make the worn areas in the right places
