I always really enjoy this part of starting a new project. Cleaning the mold and oxidation off to see what kind of patina is under it. Water, comet bleach, and a scotch-brite pad does the trick. I was on the fence about whether or not this truck would end up getting painted when I bought it. I’m leaning towards leaving it as is now. Here’s a couple before and afters

I love following this so much
Glad to hear it. Social media has always been about cars, trucks, and bikes for me. Not much of that going on here. Just trying to be the change I want to see 🤷♂️
I didn’t mean to zap my own note 🤦♂️
There’s just something so cool about real patina
Agreed, looks cool and tells a bit of a story. I can’t stand faux patina paint jobs 😤 either leave the real deal alone or give it a proper paint job

Clear coat and call it a day!
Age looks good on it!
I’ve owned a lot of old cars and I’ve never painted any of them, why start now? 🤷♂️
Absolutely go with the patina. I just used the same concoction on my newly acquired 79 ford followed up with some sweet patina sauce.
