DM’ing you now…

Seriously thinking of power washing this 67 and then satin clear coating the body.

I would think twice about the clear coat. It will fail because of the patina and then it will look horrible and then you will have to ruin the patina to get it off. Use fluid film or LPS-3. Run it on once or twice a year and you’re done.

Yes. Preserve that look. There are plenty painted vehicles in the world.

More info, please .

Cool idea.

I was almost ready to post my patina on my 40 when my now Ex-wife decided to spray the whole thing with rattle cans while a was out of town for work. She was so proud of herself and confused why I didn't appreciate it more!

Leaving it rusty for now. Plan to fix it eventually, but will want to try to match/blend repair into original paint.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

I’ve got it on my list to get my truck to, one day, a shop that can remedy these holes on the cowl. Some PO made the unfortunate decision to install off road lights on both sides of the cowl. Would like to patina match it (since it’s original paint) or at least limit the paint to just the cowl panel.

you could pull the plugs out, cut a couple 16 gauge patches and limit the paint disturbance, just enough to get welds down. Wouldn't be too hard at all.
