Faux Patina Redeux

[bunnyman666]

I have done my due diligence in researching (some google searches returned this VERY forum), and have decided mine will go a different direction. I want a cool and interesting paint job on the OCC Stingray.

My thought was to strip it down, paint rust in the crevices, paint a little skull and crossbones at the “tank” area. Do some “fading”, then coat the whole thing with a Linseed Oil/turpentine mixture, recoating on occasion. My vision? Bare metal with age.

Suggestions/comments?

I will cut this on my plotter for a mask:

I like your plan and I think I can see the vision

However..........you have a plotter? Can we be friends?

It’s a Cricut, a poor man’s plotter. And yes, we can be friends
