Paul thanks for posting:; that's a nice way to preserve patina and I think he got it into 3rd gear without grinding

Interesting.. I think it would look better if they added some flattener to the paint so it wasn't so shiney tho.

Like a permanent Gibbs Oil coating. I assume original paint under the clear, right. The clear coating will darken and crack due to UV radiation? I think you will better protect the original paint with the Gibbs oil, right?

Most clears today have UV screens and absorbers in them but they can fail in time if the proper amount of clear coat isn't applied.

So somebody got carried away with grey and black spray bombs and clear coated it.

Re: The only color paint you will ever need for your Model A is... Clear!!
Looks like another tacky/bad idea like I might envision seeing on Gas Monkey garage. fake patina on panels that are far to straight to have that kind of look/patina - but far too rough and distressed to be that glossy at the same time. Interesting. Just not my cup of tea.
I have yet to see a Model A with a more beautiful and authentic patina than Crosscut's AA. Every time I see that truck my jaw drops.

I use satin varnish to avoid the shine, but to have a bit of sheen.

Re: The only color paint you will ever need for your Model A is... Clear!!
it would look better if it was over original paint. the fenders or bodies never had grey primer on them. and the fenders never had red primer originally. I also noticed that it is a Canadian, just maybe they did things a little different up there. A, only joking on that one.

Re: The only color paint you will ever need for your Model A is... Clear!!
My opinion is that there are only 2 possible car finishes for an antique car.
1) Original Paint...even if worn badly still can look nice and very interesting..because it is original. Kind of like an old clock face, worn but shows the effects of time and it make its own statement about the passage of time. 2) a Car with no original paint left, no primer left or body work too. This type of car should be professional painted with the best you can afford. And the results can be astounding..It can look show room fresh. A new paint job should never be artificial stressed to look tattered and old.. because this is SCHLOCK at its best. These are Only the opinions of one OLD Man. |

This is what 87 years really looks like.
You can't paint it on.

Too bad the license plate bracket is crooked. What else is half-a$$ed?

Re: The only color paint you will ever need for your Model A is... Clear!!
Paul,
Thank you for posting that car, SUPERB! It even BOUNCED to the music beat. NOW, that's a REAL WORLD MODEL A, with its' HISTORY showing. I just moved my HUGE Steamer Trunk in, to use for a JET-FUEL COFFEE table. I "think"??? it was made in Ireland, came to N.Y, then by TRAIN & WAGON TRAIN, to Kalifornia!!---For a slight fee, we'll "create" a "history" of your Model A. Bill W.
