Rusty patina paint job using vinegar to match original paint

Ok this is going to be a challenge... we want to paint the fender skirts to match the original patina of the 1936 Hudson Terraplane. The first step is to mix up some paint to match the shade of navy blue. Then the paint will be applied in a messy/streaky manner so that we can have some metal still showing which we'll cover with vinegar to create a rusty original look 😅

Try putting on a coat of red oxide primer, then the blue, then scuff through the blue with a Scotch Btite pad to achieve the patina

[@jamesgaczewski9692]

Don’t see any other red oxide on rest of the car, look at what the factory used and study how weather and sun wore the paint.

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

I agree , red oxide would be good underneath also a titch of white fogged on …

[@crushingvanessa3277]

Flat brown paint would work to, that's what I use on models for this effect.

[@smurph1153]

You need to use Hydrogen Peroxide with several table spoons of salt mixed in. This will create instance rust. You should have painted the entire fender skirt with primer and paint first, then sand as much off as you like leaving some exposed primer and paint, then scratch and scuff to your liking, then apply the Peroxide letting dry between coats. Put on as many coats as you like to achieve the desired amount of rusting. Pat dry between coats. Allow to completely dry before final wipe down and top coating. Hope this helps if you even read this. Good luck! So far a great job!!

[@smurph1153]

@@kalinagoedge2777 It does with quick results. Don't know if Chad has figured it out yet because it doesn't look like he is having a pod cast today. Will see?

[@sqd37l]

think of how much more cool he would look if he tucked his ears inside his ballcap

[@walnutmanor]

I usually take a nail and poke 1 or 2 holes in the lip of the can, to allow the paint to drain back into the can, instead of drying in the lip groove. Makes it easier to open the cans too. Great Show, Thanks.

[@donaldhalls2189]

He has said before that he puts a screwdriver in the edges to do that, good idea though, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@jayfairfax3506]

Nice work. I use water and wire wool to create rust patina. Put water on panel then rub wire wool between your hands over the area so it kinda sprinkles the steel wool over area. Keep up the great work guys.

[@williamchildress1459]

I really like how you put the flares on the bottom of the fender skirts

[@danielplummer6385]

Hi Chad & Jolene how are you two? You need to mix salt in with the Vinegar that is what rusts it fast. I have also seen pickle juice and salt used as well. The videos that I have watched they had it rusted pretty quickly but, I think without the salt it is not going to rust quickly and I also think the water collecting on it will dillute it. The videos that I have watched they mixed the salt and vinegar in a spray bottle and sprayed it on. When in doubt how to do something watch a You Tube video, lol.

[@slvrktman7824]

Old rust is brown New rust is orange

[@uncleronstrixie]

BAD Chad & QUEEN Jolene, I’ve been watching your videos on a daily and I’ve gone back to the beginning and have been watching them all!!! Love everything you do and your ability to communicate what you are doing to us. Keep up the awesome work and your amazing creativity!! 👍 Skirts and Spots Bob Silverberg

[@donaldbrightwell5221]

I use vinegar to de-rust metal. I put a old two barrel shotgun in pure vinegar. It took a couple of days to de-rust it. Works great & removes all of the rust. Then steel wool & water to clean up. Rust does start “ growing “ quickly. It will be interesting to see what happens.

[@jimcoplan9502]

Jolene mixes the paint and Chad sprays it. Then apply vinegar. This should be an interesting way to achieve the desired result.

[@MrOilcountry]

Chad and Jolene, Love the Hudson! Beautiful job on the chop. Every artist has his own palate. Kudos to you both.

[@1yris1]

Vinegar kills rust and you should have painted it first with red oxide primer then good paint coverage then scotch brite in certain areas and sand paper until you see bare metal in the areas you want and then salt water with peroxide will instantly rust the metal 👍

[@jeffkerr4861]

Vice Grip Garage does patina finishes on most of his cars. Derick also sells wipe on clear coats from dull, satin, and gloss. Some are linseed based, some paint.

[@Toystorations]

8:1 peroxide to vinegar with a tablespoon of salt, let it sit and it'll look like old rust in no time. Get a soft brass wire wheel or some sand paper, even paint thinner, whatever you'd like, to remove spots of paint where you think the sun would hit it or the water would pool up, and then you'll have a good spot to put your vinegar peroxide solution. Excited to see how this turns out.

[@RustyCigrit]

Chad vinegar alone won't cause rust it actually removes rust the best solution is hydrogen peroxide with a little vinegar and salt in a spray bottle mix about 80-20 with vinegar being 20 percent hydrogen peroxide bring the 80 add a few dashes of salt shake up , the best way to do is paint the panel as u would painting anything else then remove the paint in the spots you want to rust in a rust pattern and then spray the solution on the removed paint or bare metal can also use browns and redish paints with a brush and Dab to add texture along with nicks and small dings here and there

[@monadking2761]

If you use vinegar, dry it with a heat gun, then apply more vinegar and heat dry it until you get the desired effect. I have cleaned rusty metal with vinegar to dissolve rust, then clean it, then sand it clean. Vinegar is just a mild acid. Just rinse with baking soda to neutralize it and distress the painted metal with steel wool with mild scratches to make it look aged. Good luck, it's coming along nicely.

[@brianrichardson7946]

Some auto parts stores can mix you original color in a rattle can if you want less aggravation trying to match the rust look. Oops I mean "patina" look

[@barriecollins6838]

I've never seen this done before Chad and jolene hopefully it's going to work out just how you want it to. I can't wait to see the end result and to see if it works. Keep up the great work the both of you 👏 👍

[@rickywhite7578]

Use a steel brush or scouring pad to ruff up the paint in the expected areas rust might form. So it will look more natural.

[@MoePoe777]

It's quite impressive how Jolene can lend a hand without loosing frame on the video.

I think it would look better with the spare mounted on the trunk if you put them on the fenders they will be in the way of the hood sides just says.

I always enjoy watching. You see a vision and you just make it like it's so easy. It speaks of years of experience and a serious work ethic. You have a keen eye and a deft hand. Signs of an artist at work. I must say sometimes our tastes differ, but I applaud your ability and tenacity. I would suggest to be careful about door clearance with side mounts. Suicide doors may cause a problem. I find your use of 100% penetration welding an obvious solution to panel repair work. I admire your work keep it up. A real fan. Robert Scheibel

All right everybody I'm your man Bad Chad and Joellyn's on the camera...I just love it...❤❤❤

[@MidwestToolReview]

Should've sprayed the skirt with Vinegar+Hydrogen Peroxide and Salt, and that would've rusted the metal almost immediately. Apply several coats and the patina will thicken. Then follow that up with either a paint or sealer. I like spraying with a clear sealer, which preserves the rust, so that when I paint the piece, I can follow that up with sanding the surface w/o removing the rust.

[@user-ev8tv1qe1z]

there is nothing more canadian than mixing paint in a Timmy,s coffee cup

[@dalesideroadclassiccarwork9038]

With rust patina the trick is to make it believable. Look at the rust on the car and it usually forms on flat surfaces first then then runs vertically and gathers around edges and flat surfaces because the cars been sitting for long time, where the water runs off. Not horizontally that low down. Also don't over do it, be subtle less is more. Don't worry about the paint colour once it's scotched down it will look cool.

[@harpersisland]

Some iron/steel powder will speed up the creation of rust if you wet the surface with salty water and sprinkle it on. Fine iron filings can be found at science educational supply houses. Remember sprinkling iron powder from a shaker on a piece of white paper and then bringing a magnet up from below.

[@brucemiller8389]

Would a visor look good on the front window ?

[@maxyearwood1085]

Black tinting is the dominate color. Always use black to darken a color and make it opaque to hide the background. Red in blue paint makes purple or violet according to the ratio. No red in the blue if you want Dark Blue. There are several dark blue colors in spray can paint that would work.

[@jongolliher3806]

I thought the color match was really good the first time you checked. Should not have added red but I couldn't really see it on the screen. You lost it when you added more blue and never got enough black back in it. Just too light and needs a bit of black until perfect.

[@johnmacmillan2766]

HEY CHAD, Peroxide sprayed on rusts right away. Rubbing Vaseline on before you paint then wiping off afterwards you can make cool patches of rust like on the doors and fenders there. Looks great

[@CarlTeskey]

Bad Chad and Jolene trying to emulate the patina and apply on to the skirts,, wow, that would be a difficult mix mediums and process, but again Bad Chad wanted to use what he had in his possession with out spending big dollars while he performs in front of thousands of viewers,,, Holy billy ba jeeeepers.. yikes! 😲He is brave. I have a hard enough time figuring out what pair of socks i want to wear,, That is why I like to watch these guys design and build with what they have at hand. Hard act to follow.😁

[@Imnotyourdoormat]

Get your color on there. Then sand it with 800 then 1000 making sure to make plenty of bare metal burn thrus around the edges, then rinse in the hottest tap water you can find. Let it cool and rinse again, and again. You should have a decent layer of surface rust beginning in minutes.

[@henryallisonsr8318]

Well Chad all you can do now is wait and see how they turn out. Hi Jolene and you all can have the snow. God bless and have a blessed night

[@donlandenberg8126]

[@benchman1351]

Fairly strong mix of salt water rusts pretty quick. Guys have used vinegar to get rid of rust, I have tried that and it will clean stuff up to a point.

[@atoyotpromod]

Toss Salt at it ...... But you have to be aggressive with it.... almost angry while throwing the salt to achieve the correct patina 😊 . Cars lookin good man!!!!

[@bentamati2671]

Paint it brown first then blue on top and let it get a bit tacky the wipe softly with a cloth

[@shake-the-earth1]

All good Chad. I would just paint the skirts then buff off the paint where you would want the rust. Everyone has their own system.

Forgot to mention the acid is applied first. Also the rust May first appear very orange, but over a few days goes more brown. Love this build!

[@rredbeak]

i am a spray painter.. try rust brown you have in tin. dab rust brown on with microfiber rag randomly to cover most but not all spat.. then dab on blue same way .some over the brown some on bare metal . do not brush,, just dab. it;ll go spotty like stone chips then vinegar everything leave to burn rverything together it'll close to match car plus rust showing through blue

Mix vinegar, peroxide,and salt to rust metal quickly. Put it in a spray bottle to apply. Good luck!

[@robertaldrow1511]

I believe it's a mixture more than straight vinegar... And a small spray bottle would make it easier to apply it

[@Ultraclassic58]

The old Hudson is looking good

[@davidmuma3235]

Once your done modifying the car take a polisher and some rubbing compound and go over the whole vehicle. It will bring out the best of the old paint and give it a uniform look but won’t destroy the rusty patina.

[@Vidar.m]

The car looks cool !

[@davidmiller9267]

Looking awesome! I’ve had excellent results using muriatic acid (in a spray bottle) and then hydrogen peroxide (also in a spray bottle). Results are almost instantaneous. Vinegar works, but is much slower. To expose more bare metal, just sand it.

[@i8ntnuts]

I was going to suggest the muriatic solution but hate to see him get hurt,

for side tires, is there going to be enough room to open suicide doors with them on?

[@MrTurkeyhunter1982]

Salt, vinegar, peroxide and a spray bottle. It will start rusting as soon as you spray it on the bare metal, I’ve done this several times and it’s the best way I have found.

Those front doors go a long ways forward. Could be difficult getting the tires sitting in the fenders far enough forward and low enough to clear the doors

Just wanted to suggest you use the same thing as we use on the highways here in NS. Salt Brine. Guess you could just add salt to the mixture overnight. I think it would add a nice light rust patina. Anyway, anyway car looks really great with the chop and the lowered back end. thanks for video.

It’s very pretty there great video also throwing 2cents nothing bad mix salt and hydrogen peroxide and spray

[@ssr1st]

Pour equal parts distilled vinegar and hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle container. ... Add around a ¼ cup of salt to the container and shake/stir until the salt is dissolved. Spray the mixture onto your piece of steel. ... Sprinkle a liberal dose of salt across the steel.

Salt brine works pretty fast. Kinda like dipping it in sea water

[@ciferific]

The blue on the car seems to shift a little to green to me, so that would have needed a touch of yellow. The red shifted it to the purple. At least that's my bellybutton.

[@danvines3417]

I have used vinegar and water 50/50 to rust metal parts. I suggest you put the paint on then use a DA with 400 grit to create "wear spots" in the paint. Notice on the back of the hood how it rusted from the edge in. and on the doors and finders where the paint looks like it was warn down and rust took over. Thry to create that look with the DA. Once you have sanded some bare metal, then put the vinegar solution on and it rusts as it dries. The DA should help make the paint look old. Also notice how the dirt on the top has discolored the paint. Perhaps put some test pain on a scrap and when it's still tacky, put a lite sprinkling of dust and see what that looks like.

[@electro1622]

Nice job Chad..I saw your Australian episode where that guy used acid/water mix to get the same result. What he did looked great and I'm sure this will look just as good...

[@fredfrederick5607]

Try using some gun blueing solution. It’s basically a controlled rusting process and helps create that old deep black rust look.

[@TCW-hw6iw]

Bare metal left unpainted for a day or two will flash off in rust (remember what happened to your tank on the fuel truck?) Check out the back of your skirts tomorrow. Hitting the face of the skirts with a heavy mist of vinegar and salt would probably turn rusty in a few hours. Or you could just drive it around Ontario for a day, and then you could hear the rust happening!
