Post pics of your trucks with "PATINA"
Hey guys, I wanted to start a thread like this because I think that trucks with PATINA are awesome and I know I'm not the only one. Plus it can give guys different ideas on what they can do with their own trucks you know. I am actually thinking of possibly sanding my truck to the originall paint and Spraying some "matte/flat clear" over it.

I love patina trucks, unfortunately mine was red over dark green over light green so it looked like it was sick, lol.
Couple pics before I gave it a "paint" job... or really did anything to it.
Buffed, and back when I was testing a grille idea that I decided I really didn't like, lol
(the rear window is actually cracked in this pattern, I just outlined it and made it a web, give it a little style till I get to it)
Not a good look...

Not mine, but I wish it was. (it's for sale, I just have to pick it up) I wouldn't change a thing.
Here's a car in the local junkyard just screaming for a patina look driver.
And lastly, my F1

Here's my 56, dosnt have alot of patina but it is all original, I just rubbed it out by hand a put on a good coat of wax.
I was going to tak her out for a spin today up to an antique tractor show but a fire call that took up the whole day kinda put a damper on that plan.
