Patina paint
Generally speaking, the "rat rod" thing is for 64 and back vehicles, as anything newer somehow doesn't fit the bill and just doesn't look right.........at least that's what the general rule is in all the rat rod circles.
It's your car though and if you want it to look like that, go for it.
You know Rusty, I think I might have to ‘rat rod’ my paint in the big city-if I want my car to be less attractive to thieves in the big city.
Almost every ignorant (classic car) fan that “loves a nova,” doesn’t care if the paint isn’t great or perfect.-Except the new gen mopar guys.
I drove my Road Runner to what I thought was the San Antonio Mopar club only to be not allowed to show my car because I didn’t pay club dues-I had just finished moving.
I laughed to myself cause to me, the old cars took work and effort towards the car, not a credit card or auto loan.
The ticket taker let me in free to the Tower of the America’s down town ( he loved the car-saved me $15+)
San Antonio people LOVE classic cars, anything old and they ALL talk & thumbs up in the RR, and want to buy my old civic every time I am out driving.
If it was shiny paint I am sure it would get stolen here in the city. Hell they tried to steal the 74 RRrolling chassis from me at the rest stop in Mississippi-those ramps scraping steel would wake up the dead so they had to scoot after they started.
BUT, so many people are driving imperfect classics here in the south.
