![]() I have a German look bug, it was built in Germany and looks like it. I'm not knocking the guys truck at all, in fact I think it looks great, I would just want to try different techniques to see if you could make it more convincing.įrom the research I've done it seems that scotch brite type scouring pads, sand paper and even lacquer thinner on a rag are all various ways to remove the paint, but again I would practice on a spare panel or a piece of sheet metal from Lowes/Home Depot. If you notice on the thread I provided the close up of the blue over the black you can see as he sanded the blue off the black shows through in striations rather than a smooth blended area. I think one thing that I want to try that a lot of people don't seem to do is to wet sand the primer color coat. I've seen a variety of methods but most all involve pretty mucht the same thing, apply your primer color (wouldn't suggest using primer since you'll expose it), then your vehicle color, sanding down through the vehicle color to expose the contrasting color beneath. If you have a spare fender, decklid etc you can use it to practice your technique. I particularly like what user "Chizzler" did in this thread ![]() There are numerous threads among many forums for many genre's of cars. Does anyone have a good technique to perform a faux-patina look and feel? How do you actually do it?Īny certain type of sandpaper, or paint, chemical stripper to start and make the process happen? I see older posts and wanted to surface this topic again. Posted: Mon 9:47 pm Post subject: The old faux-patina question again Quick sort: Show newest posts on top | Show oldest posts on top
