Busted and Rusted on Route 66
Not really my style. But I appreciate the talent the painter has to make it look as authentic as he did.

I'm kinda hard core and not into posing, but the guys work looks real. He must spray some glue on it and dust some rust on the glue. Harleyboy

Remember the VW rat Jesse James built on Monster Garage? It had a glass front end and somehow they made it as rusty as the rest of the car. I think they put ground up metal shavings in clear and painted that on the car.

The guy did great work. To each their own, but I think he got the look he was after.

Modern Options sells the Instant Rust paint.
Works well on any paintable surface.

Regular Vinegar works just as well as their "special" acid.
To get the best colors,keep the surface wet as long as possible.
I cover the surface is plastic,you can also soak cloths in acid
to keep the surface wet longer.
If the acid evaporates too fast,you get that cheap looking
Orange "flash rust",not the right warm tones.
You can also just apply the paint,and let it rust naturally.
Michael's carries it,watch for the 40 or 50% off coupon in their weekly flier.

"Fake Patina" is fashionable right now.

WOW!
That is interesting- I do have to say it looks fairly convincing.
This year at Back To The 50's a group of about 6 of us were checking out a
very vintage "barn find" '32 Ford coupe. We probably looked at it 2-3 minutes before someone read the description sheet taped to the window in which it said "new fiberglass body". We were all shocked.
The car even had fake bird droppings on the front of it!
It is impressive what some skilled painters can pull of nowadays!

Yeah, that. Nice talent but definately a poser owner.

The Instant Iron from Modern Options contains real iron dust,
so it will rust on it's own,and the rust is real.
I'm sure there are other brands of similar iron coatings.
They also do Copper and Bronze coatings.
I've tried the Copper and bronze,not as nice as i would like,
but they should have improved since then.

I don't think it looks real at all, looks like someone is trying to hard.
But I do appreciate the work that went into it.
I would have just built a nice replica '32, or ratted out the replica and used satin black and some striping. That's just how I roll!

Oh no!
Sorry, not knocking but I don't think it's even close to looking real.
