Oh yeah he's mentioned he'd like to slam it to the ground like they do with these old things. They do say clear coat is an option to protect the surface but I have not tried it. I just put on a good coat of wax and keep it indoors when not in use. It actually had a repaint job around 1970 but in places it has worn through to the undercoat. I just used some Turtle brand rubbing compound and a lot of time and energy to clean up and bring out what shine was left in the paint on this old IH pickup. That "patina" effect is pretty popular now and I like it. Posted 21:42 (#4346176 - in reply to #4346075) Subject: RE: 60'sford truck with old patina paint ? Slam it on the ground and run it would be my choice lol-to protect the patina for ever it would get clear coat though Posted 21:10 (#4346075 - in reply to #4346069) Subject: RE: 60'sford truck with old patina paint ?

I can't remember if its a satin clear coat or a flattened clear coat but I would clear it then let it ride Posted 20:02 (#4345799 - in reply to #4345697) Subject: RE: 60'sford truck with old patina paint ?

Posted 19:39 (#4345724 - in reply to #4345697) Subject: RE: 60'sford truck with old patina paint ? We did replace the front floor pans though that are common to rust out on these trucks. Which is hard to believe being this old in this part of the world with salty winter roads. We found the truck this summer and compared to all the old chev and ford trucks we looked at this old this one had little rust other than surface rust. I'd like to see it painted eventually but for now we're going to leave it be. Has anyone done this if so what does person put on it to protect it some? Just wax and keep it clean? Some go to a lot a work to actually make a finish look something like this. He wants to leave the old pantina effect on it has that's popular now a days with some. My 17 year old has this project truck him and I have been work'n on. Posted 19:35 (#4345697) Subject: 60'sford truck with old patina paint ? ( logon | register )Ħ0'sford truck with old patina paint ?
