Any one else bored of patina cars?

[125 Over]

Never cared for rust as something worth looking at in any way shape or form.

As a kid growing up in a blue collar neighborhood. Money was always tight. So you saw guys with one built motor and suspension but primer paint or on the other side, awesome paint and interior but stock motor and suspension. Still have a soft spot for primer cars.

dents and rust and such

Dent's aren't patina. That's just a beat up car.

This is ok



This is not



Further more, this is not patina. This is a shit box.



And yes, I know everything and make the rules for what's right and wrong so don't question me because fuck you.

It's situational. Patina is earned, not made. Simple as that.

Sweet, all the rust spots on the 500 are like battle scars.

Eh, i think a crappy car is a crappy car. There are some cars that look great with all the dents and rust and such, and some cars look great when the owner made them to look like that. Its another trend that people are drawn to because it is different then the "show car" scene, its been the same way for too long, and people just want something different.

I **** the "murder out" flat black look. But some cars pull it off and look great, the civic down the street that the kid just spray painted be cause he wanted the "look" is a crappy car, and thus looks like so.

regardless of natural and unnatural patina it is based on the vehicle it is put on. some rides that may even have natural rust and or patina just don't look good. then there are also vehicles that pull the look off well even if it is forced patina or 'un-natural' for example HooWybrow s10 pulled the rusted look off better than the majority of show built ratrods. then again like i said before some rides just can't pull it off regardless how it was gone about.

[SuperMegaDeathRay]

i like patina, rat style or rust look whatever you call it...but it has to be real (not necessarily natural patina), not fake airbrushed shit or rustpaint stuff...but it depends on the car and the cars look at all...

You're confusing patina with crappy cars. There are so many beat cars out there now because everyone is raised on the "if they can do it why can't I?" standpoint. Someone sees a beat car at a show, they say hey mine is beat I can do that too and it just builds from there.

Patina is gracefull aging. It's not a dent you got while trying to drift.

Good point.

[Stupid Kid]

That's the worst shit i've ever seen.



If its earned and it looks nice, cool. don't intentionally do it.

"scene" kids take stuff that people have been doing for decades and turn them into trends and them turn around and "****" them a year or so later. That's really what im bored of.

Natural patina = can be ok, especially if the car is a classic
Faux patina = retarded in nearly every circumstance

Rusty is the ONLY car I've ever liked with non-natural patina

I love patina in general. Moreso if its a daily then a Weekend cruiser.

As for the Faux Patina and rust, Some I like some I don't. A good friend of mine and pinstriper did it to his daily Titan with Spray cans and flat clear and turned out Sick

[Jlyons617]

Patina sucks, on everything.

Just my $.02

[joshg51]

I think this is in the same realm, that primer =/= flat/matte black. See this too often.

Totally agree. Also depends on the car, honestly. Big classic cars and trucks are where it's at for Patina.
