Re: faux-tina paint jobs

I too am planning to try my hand at the faux patina paint.

The best patina'd trucks I have seen are on trucks with light colored paint top coats. This allows the black and/or red-oxide primer to show up better.

Here are some examples of patina, some real - some faux, and what I mean about the lighter top coats.

Also notice that the real ones almost always have black primer on the dog house, and red oxide on the cab and bed.
