I would like to destroy my paint!

Post by BayStYAt »

I am researching the best way to accelerate paint aging. I want to create a dull chalky paint. The truck is currently lacquer based paint. I plan to sand and rust the high spots. I dont want DA scratches when sanding to dull the paint surface. Any ticks or tips ?

thanks

Scuff the paint with 3M red scuff pads for starters. That will give you the satin finish.

Well my unintentionally faded, chalky paint is Rustoleum safety orange. Another yellow / white truck ('71 F-500) has the same issue. Took about a year of outside weather.
too many Fords, no where near 'nuff time.

or, money.

Interesting. Post some pics once you're done doing it.

If DeLorean made a truck, it'd look similar to that.
