how to flat clear a patina paint

paint jobs are traditional. waxing or clearing rust is not. at least not where I come from.

 

I think the turning point for me to start embracing patina was the realization after several years of work , the day it`s completed starts the aging process all over again.

I have plenty of pretty cars but drive my shop trucks a lot more.

 

Well......... Merry Christmas! Ya rusty guys, you.

 

after reading this thread the only thing that can be said with any degree of certainty is that old car people are all just plain nuts... in a good way though.

 

Thanks I haven't heard that in a few years. Now I've got to dig up my Dr. Demento Christmas album.

I forgot about this post, did anyone change there thoughts on paint haha

 

I wouldn't clear it, neutralize any rust with ospho, CLR or similar.

If there no spots where the paint is missing worn thru 3M imperial hand glaze does a great job bringing back dead paint.

If it's really worn, I'd buff in johnsons paste wax. Its heavier than car wax and will coat any exposed areas well.

 

Three year old thread on a Bull Shit subject. YGBSM!

 

Mop-N-Glo. Good enough for the Air Force, and their matte drab paint. That's it. No sanding, and wasted effort.

I don't understand these threads. Your mom never went thru all this effort saving her old ass floors. Just cleaned it, and made it shine. Bought new floors when she could afford it.

 

Finally we get to the real answers to a simple question. Mop-n-Glo acrylic floor finish sounds like a winner to me.
Then there a new product thats called RatWax that really works.
Opinions are like tailpipes , everyones got one but some sound better than others,
Just sayin'

 

A couple words you don't mention here.gasmonkey and I think r*t rod.
