Paint Ideas

[05snopro440]

I'm considering paint ideas for my 28 RPU. I know, I know...

Anyways, I ran across this Tudor that was painted with Hot Rod Flatz and then buffed out, kind of gives it an old time paint job feel. I'm thinking the "hand-rubbed lacquer and then ignored for 20 years" type of look would be pretty sweet on a nostalgia-style RPU on steelies. This is close. Thoughts?

I shot my Reo (see build) with Rustoleum maroon and it came out too shiny. So I sprayed satin clear over it. The clear was in spray bombs.

It does have the hand polished shine look to it. Not 100% shine, but in the nineties per cent. I like it, and the colour too.

Looks pretty darn good to me...
I have a hard time getting that much shine on my shiny paint jobs

I really like the look but, never knew they way they got it.

I like 'em all.

Shiny paint only looks good on really straight metal to me. My Frankenstein body metal can only be rusty...I'm with Skip, we do what we want to do with no reserve!

Works for me. More importantly. Does it work for you?

My vision is this, but a little more rubbed-through to expose the colour underneath. My truck will have black fenders, but I'm wanting them to look a bit weathered with a red oxide colour underneath. The body will be red oxide coloured, but want some black underneath exposed. So essentially if I do that I'll have to paint the truck twice, once in the opposite colour combo and once in the correct one.

I don't want satin, or a super-fake patina, but I want less shiny than regular glossy paint.

The vision is evolving, but that's where I'm at now.
