EVERYONE LOVES A GLOSSY YARDSTICK PAINT JOB WITH SUPER COOL GRAPHICS AND BRAND-NEW CHROME TRIM, RIGHT? You can see your reflection a mile away and sometimes a pretty lady will check her makeup on your shiny hood. But what about driving it every weekend to department stores or cruise-ins? Every single rock chip in the road scares you when it flings up and makes a noise. Every minivan means a door ding and every weekend consists of detailing and waxing your perfect paint. Not to mention the incredibly high cost of a five-star paint job in the first place, along with the maintenance bills that come along with it. That’s a lot of daily stress you’re adding to your life that can all be washed away with some rain and rust if you’re keen on patina.
We intend to drive our ’65 Chevy C10 as often as possible, we are parking it in our driveway outside our house, and we don’t plan to buy a bunch of fancy cleaning chemicals to protect it from the environment. If this sounds like your situation, we have some great tips and tricks to protect your patina. Don’t have patina already? We have a solution for that, too!
01 When we originally bought this ’65 Chevy C10, we knew the paint would need to be addressed. It had dents and dings on every panel and some teal color poking through some paint-flaked panels. To paint or not to paint, that’s the question. Either way, paint will be last, so might as well make it cool while we save our pennies.
