Default Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project

Well when I get going I tend to leave my phone inside and not take pics. Basically I put paint on, hit it with a cloth while it is still wet to add some wear marks, then let it dry. I then do another coat and when it is tacky I throw metal shavings in the paint. Hit it with some salt water to activate the rust in the shavings and from there it is just rubbing it out, hitting it with a chain to add more marks. In about a week or two, it looks like old paint. The metal shavings rusting stains the new paint.
