[QUOTE=Dave in MN;1680101]About two years ago, I had a '29 closed cab pickup in my shop to complete some mechanical repairs. The paint was very old, some areas totally missing but it looked awesome, a real survivor. The owner was considering a full sheetmetal and paint restoration. We discussed if he would be comfortable letting the grandkids crawl all over it if it had a $8,000 paint job? He asked me what I would do so I showed him what paste wax would do to the finish. He liked the patina it brought out so we did the entire truck. Sorry I don't have any photos. Try a small area, you may like it.[/QUOTE
Any pep work needed before applying? Especially rust areas?
