Faux Patina

if you want to really be different, spray that glass body with two tones of silver paint to replicate a fresh Brookville body! Now that would really fool 'em!

 

Hey, how can I paint my steel '37 coupe so that it looks like it's fibreglass???

well, i guess my car will get thrashed too.

 

more examples for the haters

 

So, Farmer.............. having a quiet day, are we? Bored enough to trawl back through the dim past to resurrect this little gem.
Thanks for wasting the last half hour of my life - now, I want it back!!!
Can someone PM the OP so he can post some pics of what he has ended up doing with his car? I've got to go back to sleep!!!

 

"Faux" is a non-traditional fake word for a poser.

 

Yea! Like the following:

1. Slicks on a car that has never been drag raced.
2. A fiberglass body 32 Ford.
3. Putting a supercharger on a stock 350 Chevy.
4. Driving a car with a Ford logo on the hood while having a Chevrolet logo under the hood.
5. Painting SS/A decals on a stock 80 horsepower 6 cylinder car.
6. Hemi or flathead valve covers on a Chevy.

 

This list could go on for days, it is longer than a whore's dream.

While I hold with all hot rods are imposters I don't hold with making them fake. there is a lot of difference between being a sham and pulling the wool over someone's eyes.

Example: Sleeper = wool pulled over someone's eyes.

Faking something real = sham.

Oh and while this is an old thread and long time dead it gave me opportunity to share my feelings about faux anything in a different way.

 

That's cool !

See this thread has been living in the bowels of the hamb, but now it can be passed like the turd it is.

Why doesn't patina rhyme with vagina

 

my low buck solution....

1. paint in primer. paint number on side.
2. before paint is completely dry, run up and down gravel roads for a the whole day.
this provides the "race" finish. bring beer.
3. drink beer.
4. spray dull clear coat over the finish.
5. drink more beer.
6. done!

....good luck!!!

 

I dunno but they both have sort of a fishy smell to them, you can wash the smell off of vagina though.

 

Faux patina ?
Is that like
faux character
Faux knowledge
Faux wisdom
Faux experience

Well its really like them but you can always find them together

 

When I was 14, (1962) I bought a 54 Merc for $45.00. I remember it was light green with a dark green top. From the day I bought it all I could think about was painting it. I didn't have the money so I worked on it to get it running and took the hubcaps off et. etc. My next three cars didn't have nice paint and it killed me to not be able to paint them with nice shiney paint. This whole patina thing is not something that any of us who went through the 50s and 60s want our cars to look like. I'm 64 now and I can afford to have nice paint, and I'm going to. If you want your car to look like the ones we had when we were kids I guess go ahead, but it's not something we were proud of 50 years ago. And to me it's sensless to take something new and spend alot of time and effort and money to make it look shitty. I guess I'd rather have 100% of the people that look at my car say " Nice paint Job" instead of half of them saying WTF.

 

When i was a techno viking warrior
We used to sharpen our axes with the village's women's teeth.
The butterflys breathed fire with their ears.
We use to beat the row boats with wife beaters to aquire the!oh so sought afterd aged look.
The Gt Branded tillers were whipped with the beards of lost warrios and our women sported a sexy beard and armit hair.
Sail with me,let the 7 seas ablaze with fear!
