My buddy in Pigeon Forge, TN bought a 59 chevy Apache that had the body put on a 1979 C10 frame. It has a mild 350 with a 350 trans.
It was black primer when he got it. He put flame red krylon on the truck after a 400 grit wet sand. Then back with flat black.
He then went to work sanding through the paint to give it the patina look.
Then off to get a top coat of high gloss clear. He has a total of $348 in the paint job.
People flag him down all the time to look at the truck.
He is thinking about pulling the motor and installing a hot 383 in it.
I told him to leave it alone. Just cruise it and don't create more problems.
Its weak as a turd but fun as heck to drive.

I'm not a fan of the "patina" fad especially when it's faked but that looks DAMN good!!
