I would recommend a couple of coats of clear coat paint .

JLo,

Your Jag looks exactly the same externally, like everyone else’s internally. Hence they’re jealous…

Mind if I’ll ask - you’ve bought the paint or made it yourself? What reagents you’ve used to activate?

James.

A guy and his Dad in Bogata, Texas would be impressed. They operate a You Tube channel.
Turningrust. If the project lacks patina, they add it…

I have a neighbor who sanded his bonnet, splashed battery acid on it, clear coated the rust and now he drives around with it. Real rust.

Keep up with the play Atty, that’s been general knowledge for ages.

Xjsbanger, I used some of the metal dust from the machine shop I work in occasionally at night and made a special formula. I activated with vinegar and salt. I then cleaned and used acrylic paint to add different textures. This license plate was brand new the day before but I had to make it look legitimately rusty even though it’s made from aluminum. I used a about 6 different colors and different brush strokes.

Is that still legal? :sweat_smile:
Nice formula (besides the vinegar). It looks perfectly realistic.

Haha yes it’s as illegal as jaywalking. It’s a novelty car after all.

Some years ago I was across the street from a new Rolls-Royce convertible parked in San Diego… Some young guy walked up to it and forced himself to throw up into the seats… I couldn’t believe it… even though some of you guys like this sort of look it reminds me of that incident… I don’t have that much interest in rat rods either…, different strokes for different folks

Ahaha I’m sorry you bear witness such a thing. I never did care for California. They do worse than that there now.

I once saw a Volvo in similar patina. It stood for months in the breaking zone of a local train station. Might still be there…

Used to see paint on new cars that was stained by rail dust; wet sand and wheel because the rat rod look wasn’t in at the time.

“…up near the tail”?

Hope you weren’t just ‘passing through’?
