I used boiled linseed oil, but you need to keep touching it up and it adds a strang yellowish/greenish film. Never seen penetrol but have use clear coat gloss and it looks good. I'll pick up some penetrol never heard of it.

You say you use it on your metal signs, does it keep them from rusting when you touch them with bare hands, and what does the customer do to them if they want to paint them later?

It stops steel from rusting, too.

I do body and paint work but you said something about you can use spray on clear like you would use in a spray gun and thin it and you can use it to wipe it on. That would be great if I could just wipe it on

I was comparing the difference between VGG and Poppy’s last week…. Seems to be that poppy’s just wants you to buy more crap with it. So I ordered a bottle from VGG…..

DRIVEWAY ENGINEER,,,You mentioned wipe on CLEAR COAT,,,,,do you use Poppys or do you have a cheaper/better alternative,,,,,thx much!
@TheDrivewayEngineerАй бұрын
Poppy's is, like I said in the video, Penetrol and clear coat. It is not some body shop 2k clear, it's a oil based clear.

It's not permanent, every few months you wipe more on, just like the expensive stuff

I respect the notion that people like different things, and we should all be receptive and accepting of the preferences of others (barring obvious safety concerns), but I haven't been able to wrap my head around rust being "cool" anywhere...

I decided to take a different way to make my car look real ugly so nobody will steal it . I really like the hail storm look so i take my ball pein hammer to make the hail stone marks ! I then get the roller out and some house paint to really pretty her up ! The best way to get quick patina is to get an electric sander out and remove all the paint to bare metal on the spots that are on top and exposed to the sun ! Cheap too !

“Patina” aka needs a paint job😂 Can’t believe it’s trendy to have faded,cracked,peeling paint and rusted metal. Years ago it was called “shit box”and not in the also new trendy way.😂

Not sure how you stumbled on this channel. But each video of the driveway engineer that you watch will just frustrate you more and more. Better off blocking the channel now before counseling is necessary.

You do understand how expensive a quality paint job is right?
@deegan727Ай бұрын
@@hunt4r214 I do and I very much understand why it’s so expensive. I do body,paint,resto albeit not professionally, but for people I like😂 That said I’m good with not having a riddler award winning paint job, never said every car has to have a flawless paint, but too many cars out there are just rusted with holes through it and they’re acting like they wouldn’t paint it if they hit the lottery. Patina is faded paint with some (few) areas of the first stage of rust. Like I said holes and heavy pits of rust isn’t “patina”. Some people should just say “I haven’t got to the paint yet”.
