Brocky Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 YES!! Just clean it up a little and add clear coat to preserve the patina.. Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58496-my-52-f-6/#findComment-429701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I hear of guys clear coating "patina", but what happens in a few years when the oxidation comes through and bubbles the clear? Just curious. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

eddeere Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Just read on article on clear coating paint and minor surface rust . The author used Zepp high traffic floor coating three or four coats . The pictures looked good . Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58496-my-52-f-6/#findComment-429741 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Nice old wrecker! deserves to live out its retirement with a nice suit on, not patina Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58496-my-52-f-6/#findComment-429756 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry, I would have to consult with the "Snake Oil" salesman, Eddy Lucast, I am sure KBS has something to kill the surface rust??? 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58496-my-52-f-6/#findComment-429842 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 My point was all the people that clear coat their rusty trucks don't know Eddy. They clear the vehicle and it looks fine today. But in a few years not so much. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
