How to get Make a copper and rust patina

[@WDMurphy]

I wish my entire truck looked like that. Really beautiful work.

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Me too! Thank you

[@Fucknuts4u]

Move to Chicago and drive around during the winter, it will look like that in no time.

[@WDMurphy]

@@Fucknuts4u I wish my truck was copper plated It would look cool, or It would also be cool if steel, tin, and aluminum patinaed that way.

[@Fucknuts4u]

@@WDMurphy _ I agree, the patina copper look would be cool on a whole truck, there's a big part of me that really wants to try this on mine. My truck already lost a lot of its paint and I live in a region where it doesn't rust or at least doesn't rot through so it might just be the right candidate.

[@WDMurphy]

@@Fucknuts4u Same here they don't salt the roads where I live my paint is near perfect for 2009 dodge (that only gets washed once a year), but most of that is from only having 19k miles on it. I can only imagine having a custom paint job like that would cost a lot but would be an eye turner.

Melanie you amaze me!! Wishing Haymish a speedy recovery 🌺

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Thank you Mel!

I went out of my way to look for a copper patina car paint treatment, was sure despite how much I love those colors that it wouldn't fit or look good on a car, and one second of this eases all those doubts. It's the PERFECT car to do it on too. An old farm truck. Super jealous, and awesome work!!! When do we get to see the whole car.... Personally, I would want like, 30% more blue than green over this, with how classically well orange and blue go together (even in car livery's) but it's awesome and hope you like it! Super cool!

[@nsquezada27]

I've been looking at all these different videos just trying to find a good way to coat my bmx steel frame on copper. This isn't what I was looking for but I have to say this was an awesome video

[@ezekielmoore4081]

I would have to say that's the best patina paint job I've seen so far.

[@lilmuchh]

What materials do you use ???

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

It’s all in the video

[@gutsandgrittv5076]

Where do you buy it? Looks amazing❤

[@wray95]

can i get an list of all products that you used? i am committed to do my entire car! you are awesome! thank you.

[@Bee-xz2wl]

Can a clear coat be put on this product?

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Yes. But not wax

[@ralph17p]

Awesome work. Any idea how you would go about doing this on a vertical surface? I'm just thinking I might have a problem getting my kitchen wall to lay flat. With all the keeping it wet, it is likely to run quite a bit. Maybe if I put the rust / verdigris activator in a gel of some sort?

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

It can be applied with a smaller amount of activator on a sponge. So it doesn’t drip

[@ralph17p]

@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie The product I've found in the UK is Craig & Rose Artisan Copper Effect paint that has an acid activator solution - appears to be the same sort of stuff. I'll do a test patch this weekend and see how it goes. I'm not going to develop your skills in an afternoon, but I'll have fun trying.

Hi Melanie thanks for sharing this video, it looks amazing. Just a suggestion for your channel: It would make a lot easier for your subscribers if you add a list of each product with a link beside it. It is irritating and difficult to remember the name of each product used and trying to go back and replay the video makes the whole experience frustrating...

[@ritamaher9192]

Hi Melanie you make painting look so easy! I enjoy your videos!!!

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Rita Maher hi Rita! Thank you. It gets easier the more you do it! You can dobit🤗🤗

[@SimpleLivin]

Have you done other projects using this product? I'm thinking of doing an entire truck with it. What's your thoughts?

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

I have done lots of furniture, and my linoleum kitchen floors with it. I can’t see why you can’t do the truck.. although I would use a different sealer that can withstand all weather. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnnWZHdnhtiDr9E

Vintage Makeovers with Melanie great news!!!

[@emailyarabrandao]

Awesomeeeeeee! Can this be done to a ALLUMMINUM bike frame? Thanks in advance!

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Yes definitely... but I would use primer first

[@emailyarabrandao]

@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie and thanks for the answer! paint primer? Same process here? Was this tailgate iron? Or alloy?

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Yes same process. I have no idea what metal it was.. it don’t think it matters

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

I also did it on my linoleum kitchen floor... same process and it is holding up fabulous

[@PatrickWard4]

That turned out so good.

[@davidboyajian7503]

Do you let the copper paint dry totally also? How long do you spray and soak for?

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

First coat dry all the way. Second coat spray when it’s still wet. I like to make puddles… but that’s not necessary

[@Jovan_of_Suffering]

Did you wash it after and/or wipe it in any way? Or did you leave it alone and let it dry?

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

I just left it alone. I did not want to stop the oxidation

[@Jovan_of_Suffering]

@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie thanks for the reply.

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

No problem! It’s a really fun, and cool process. I hope you give it a goo

[@normanmerrill1241]

Nice work ___looks great…

[@joshuadomrow4957]

This is fantastic! Do you have any idea whether this can be done on a whole car? Can you clear coat over top to protect?

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

I would suggest using the recommended top coat. It’s durable for outdoor finishes

[@NovaGraphics2C]

Where do you recommend purchasing these products? Do you have an affiliate link?

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

The best thing to do is go to the Modern Masters website and search for your closest retailer.

[@unknownerorr2740]

That's so sick, thanks for making this

[@haleymead770]

Can we get a list of the paints you used so we know which one we need to get from the store if we want this same outcome?

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

I am certain I say it all in the video. I would watch it again and write it down as I go

[@lokijuytmongolito2966]

ok so this looks crazy badass! could it be done with the pieces still on the vehicle? to achieve a drip affect or would it just run off and not activate? guess i could just buy some and see...

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

It will still work.. it will be runny rusty goodness

[@edmondndrecaj4377]

Tailgate came out beautiful 👌 I have bike I'm building and would like to do the same thing to my tank and fender where do I get the paint primer if there a kit for it

[@masonmc23]

If you do this to a vehicle will it continue to rust or does it stop at the primer? I have spent a lot of time doing body work and I don’t want to rust what I’ve done back out.

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

It will stop rusting I am certain. But you probably should ask Modern Masters to make sure

[@tennesseesyndicate5337]

What if I just wanted the rusty color what paint would I use

Just the iron ans rust spray

[@brennalyke26]

Hey Melanie how are u? I am in the process of getting ready to seal a ton of patina projects. They all have a mix of green blue and rust. Of course as it dries it gets seriously faded some of it is lovely but I do want to bring back some of the deep patina tones. Do you use matte or satin to seal your patina? Which do you think is best to keep it natural looking? Thanks for always posting your brilliant beautiful projects and creations. You're amazing!!

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Hey there! I prefer the satin. It’s going to deeper and darken all of it.

[@brennalyke26]

@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie thanks I went and sprayed Rust-Oleum matte, one of my projects turned a milky white. I learned that too much humidity in the air and or your project not fully cured can create a milky haze in the clear coat. Ugh! Starting over on that one. 🤦 Thanks for reply. I'm going to use satin next time but ensure I wait long enough between last layer of patina.

Just an FYI if you are using real copper. It's actually not recommended because of electrolysis. When using different metals causes corrosion in plumbing. That's why they use Dielectric unions.
