I understand the patina thing, and in some cases I think it's kinda cool, when it's actual patina which developed over decades of use and sitting.

However, I don't understand sanding the paint off a car in an attempt to manufacture patina.  Not dumping on the seller, it's his car, but I'm thinking this will be a hard sell.

Question for the body/paint guys - is it hard to knock down this amount of surface rust to get a decent paint finish and not have it bubble out in a couple years time?  To me, it looks like the pitting would make it hard to smooth out and it would be difficult to get all the rust from the pits to prevent future return of the rust.  Just curious what the guys who know about this would think.

FWIW, just my comment, but to me this type of patina looks like somebody started to do bodywork on a car but got too lazy to cover it up and finish the job.  I recall seeing this type of look a number of times before patina became trendy, and I think it was just people who started a job on the weekend and ran out of time - but didn't think to paint over the bare metal so it wouldn't rust.

What a waste. We had a 1956 ford customline 4 door when I was a pre teen and a young teenager. Black in colour it was a really good car. 292 with an automatic trans. My parents went on a trip to New York state one summer and my father came home with a signal seeking town and country radio and 55 ford headlights rings that he installed in that car. The radio was always a conversation piece. Twice a year he and the four older boys would polish that car with Cadillac Blue Coral a two step process, a liquid compound first step and a hard wax to seal the shine. It would take a full day to do the job to my fathers satisfaction.

Well hopefully he did a good job feathering the paint. If so a coat of primer will fix it.

I love original cars but when they reach a certain point then its time to paint/restore them. To take an original car and try to add to it by creating patina is sacreligious.

Sorry to say but this isn't a patina look, this is a " I sanded rust spots on my vintage car and never got it finished  look"

Just had a flashback.......The first car...that I legally owned.....and drove....was a 56 Meteor 4dr. 292 V8. 3 speed...with a Fenton floorshifter....and dual exhaust with glasspacks.....paid 65 dollars for it...

Looked very similar to this victim before the buffoon sanded on it....

That Canadian specific Meteor grille and side trim are very cool...

I've seen some patina cars that looked pretty good but they have to look like they got that way naturally.
I think it would have looked better if he would have just installed the Cragar rims and left the paint alone.
