So here is one that is claimed to be real with a little "help" to blend some of it...
And then even the mags got into how to make it look real...

It just looks like they painted it poop brown to me
Me either. Painting over rust makes you an idiot,lazy or cheap.Following some other tards crayon eating example until it's a fad...
I guess what's at hand is what " patina " is . I my world it isn't air brushed " rust " applied over a perfectly straightened and boarded body . The clear coat adds insult to injury . At least that's this mans opinion. Here's another real patina truck.
Some fake is better than others , I guess everyone should do what makes sense to them , and have fun.
We discussed this about 2 years ago when I'd posted a SEMA truck that had Patina on it like the truck I just posted where it'd been clear coated over. I'm guessing to preserve it? And I was questioning the WHY and when had this become the fad of our time... Sort of like the "Rat Rod" fad that is going on right now... And it's similar to the naked bikes or the bobbers which has now become a "fad" too...
I can look at how it was made and appreciate it for that but not like what it really is...
I thought patina means you can't afford to paint it.
So we sort of agree on something??? Damn....
I guess that depends on whom you're asking... Some find it a art form...
Quick ! , grind this down to bare metal , get some epoxy primer on it then a stone white base coat and a clear coat .
No worries there....
Talk about a badly edited picture....
Oh... Well maybe like the one in the middle...

Very rare cars. I know of them because of the MoPar C-body connection and forum I used to be active on. I haven't finished the video yet, so he might have mentioned this stuff, but the stripe decal is reflective so it pops in the lights, and I think there were 6 show cars built, and one of those cars lives about a 2hr drive from me, but I've never seen it in person.
Here's some of the convo over on the C body forum.
