Patina

[90lxwhite]

Ugly. I hate when people paint their cars to appear as if it has "patina" it is such bs and a waste. Always remember fellas it is easier for a rich man to act like a poor man than for a poor man to act like a rich man.

Haaa, I like!

An after though: patina'd items may look well as art but not on an automobile it just comes of as a pile of rust, a pile of rust that someone spent a pretty penny to make

Everyone has their own tastes man. Would I spend the money on a fake patina paint job, no... But I do like the way an old classic truck looks if left all worn out on the outside, but built underneath.

I agree on an old car 50's or below

The guys on Fast and Loud clear over all the rust and oxidation to keep the barn-find look. IMHO it works on a few rat rods, but I really think taht painting or acid fading a new car to look older is lame.

The mechanic on fast n loud looks like a meth addict

 

[stykthyn]

everyone on that show does.

Don't worry, in the future we will look back and wonder.... "what the fugg were we thinking! :ie Fast and Furious!

Please.... it's a "reality show" aka fake/staged/rigged/phony. Notice whenever he takes one of his cars to an auction he loses his ass,but somehow always manages to make huge $$$ selling to his friends and shills. I wouldn't let those ass clowns work on my lawnmower.

everyone of the Discovery Channel shows is crap. even sharkweek was forced over dramatized. I miss Monster Garage and the first two seasons of American Chopper. The formula back then worked.

Oh and I know we're straying off patina but since we are talkin tv; I turned on today and found out I lost the speed chan and it was replaced fox sports. Oh well most the it was lame NASCAR stuff anyway but sum shows I liked.

 

[stykthyn]

speed channel is all NASCAR or those 30 minute infomercials that are disguised under clever names like 2 Guys Garage, or Gearz.
