Default Re: Making new paint look old??

Thank you Mike! Couldn't resist another repaint adventure before I go back to some boring woodwork in the shop This is my current avatar tonner that got the H six and the box, running boards and rears from 'Uncle Oscar'. Oscar was pretty rusty from Western Washington(35 years unde a big leaf maple) and as you can see in the background, my avatar truck was from The arid East Side of the Cascades. (Where they grimace and call us folks 'Coasties). This truck was originally black but had been brush painted by one a them hillbillies over there. The next owner started stripping the paint with a globemaster sanding pad in a drill and fortunately did not advance beyond the passenger door and cowl bottom.
