How to: Custom Patina Paintjob! - 1956 GMC Suburban (Part 1)

[@mrgreezy1]

I understand that certain people like patina.. to me it literally makes me physically ill to look at. But love goes out for the effort and realism. 💯

[@craigstrickland1572]

That Suburban is going to be the star of the show when you are done!

[@alanpaulick7815]

I'm not a huge fan of patina, but I do think it would be fun to do one of these faux patina paint jobs,

[@stevewhone2937]

Looks great, mixing art & painting skill is a tall order. I can’t imagine the hours you’re putting into this truck! Looking forward to the end result.

[@nselstudio3336]

I was really hoping you would use a chip brush. I keep a stash of them in my toolbox, they are great for patina and other art projects!

[@SlickWorks]

@@nselstudio3336 Absolutely! I could tell right away what brushes would work and what wouldnt. Turns out the cheaper the brushes, the better they worked. Works for me!

[@evgeni2306]

This is not my taste of paint but you did awesome job making it realistic! Awesome job!

[@mortenhenningsen940]

Looks great. I agrea with the customer on more white. And the runs makes it look more realistic. Looking forward to rest of the collour. I personaly like when a door or a fender is either different collour,or same as rest but a bit darker or lighter,like a old repair,and they did a poor job matching the fabric collour. And also some square gray primer collour in some corners with rust on, like they tried to fix som rust sometime along the way. Thumbs up from a subscriber in norway 🇸🇯 🇸🇯👍👍👍

@@mortenhenningsen940 I would like to go wild with it and have definitely thought about adding some sections of grey primer here and there. Unfortunately, we are completely out of budget and Ill be painting the rest of the truck for free to get it out the door. No more room to get creative with it. Ah well, it'll still look great once its done. Glad you dig it 😎

[@mortenhenningsen940]

@SlickWorks i bet it is gonna look great anyway. Mabye some other time you can be creative and ho all the way on a build.

[@SlickWorks]

@mortenhenningsen940 Hopefully! Thanks for the props man, much appreciated 🙂🙂🙂

[@waltpastick1236]

Great job, but I love me some battle ship grey

[@lespaint]

Awesome 😎

Personally I don't like the patina craze , excuse not to spend the time and money to do it right. But I like your talent and enjoy your channel

Julie, So if u don't have the time and money to so called "do it right" are u just supposed to leave it in the garage and not take it out and enjoy it? Or maybe u put your money into the things that make it reliable and enjoy it as it is. It's not necessarily a craze but people still putting these vehicles back on the road with the money they have. It shouldn't have to be a rich man's hobby. Your so called "do it right" paint job will cost close to $10k at the minimum. I have cars that I don't even have that much into that more people crowd around at every car show and at the gas station than the painted cars. $10k paint job wouldn't improve that. I enjoy it as much or even more because I DIDN'T have to spend that money to be happy. I put that money into making it reliable and drivable.

[@GregoryBamber]

@@CJsTakes13 anybody except really lazy people can at least spray can a car one colour, I have until I got around to doing a proper paintjob.

[@GregoryBamber]

@@CJsTakes13 I have done proper paintjobs myself for the cost of materials, it's not hard. I had a friend who is a qualified spray painter panel beater tell me I did a good job. Patience is the main thing needed.

[@CJsTakes13]

@@GregoryBamber So how is that "doing it right"? like the person I'm responding to stated? How is it "lazy" to leave the patina that is Original to the car and tells a story? I've rattle canned cars before. I'll never do it again. Looks lazy and like a moron thinks he did a good job. Natural patina Lookes better. Better to leave the natural look. Not everyone has the time/ability or equipment to do attempt a proper style paint job. I've painted cars that have won best of paint at local car shows. I personally don't like to do it anymore and refuse to pay someone else to do it for me. I get a lot of compliments on my patina rides. And I don't have to worry about it getting scratched up when I go to the grocery store. Yep I go shopping in mine. Not worried and I enjoy using the crap out of them. TO EACH THEIR OWN. Only snobs dis another mans ride because he didn't spend thousands to paint it.

[@Superbison-t1d]

Why are you sanding in the spray booth ?

[@SlickWorks]

@@Superbison-t1d to save time with the customers budget. The hours arent there with this job to unmask it, pull it out, sand it, then remask the truck.

[@Superbison-t1d]

Okay then. Been there done that. But only once . I try and keep booth as clean and dust free as possible . Don’t want people thinking I work for Maco ( Dust City ).

[@SlickWorks]

@@Superbison-t1d oh absolutely. If I had a choice in the matter there is many things about this project I would have taken more time on.

[@frankfurther3828]

Really nice job but why leave the bumpers on?

[@SlickWorks]

@@frankfurther3828 budget.

[@brianrussell1565]

Would look better just in the primer

[@swade41]

I hate fake patina because it never looks real, it always looks unnatural, there is one guy (Jerome Borris) that's really good at it, but it's still fake

[@thestreets5206]

Why cut out the 60 hrs of prep to get it ready for paint

[@SlickWorks]

@@thestreets5206 Im sure we can agree 60 hours of prep would be pretty boring to watch 😆

[@Unc_Talks]

You guys on Instagram?
