I'm hoping to make this my next project. Would I start with a red and try to fade it? This will be my first shot at any major weathering, so any and all advise is greatly appreciated....

Hah! At first glance I thought it was Fred Sanford's truck! I'll let Doc and the weathered experts take a crack at this one, but i'm going to watch. I've got a Beverly Hillbillies truck that could use some work.

Sanford's truck.... thats pretty good! Actually this is Cherry Bomb's work truck... Guys, I'll be using a resin cab and plastic bed if that makes a difference......

Will you be using cans or an air brush?

[JollySipper]

More than likely I will be using one of those small aerosol cans with the jar attachment on the bottom, that way I can spray acrylic without having an airbrush..... unless the technique would be achieved better with spray cans?

I hope you get answers from some of the builders on this forum who are patina masters. Dr. Cranky and bryan_m come to mind.

Random wetsanding and DullCote are a good way to go.....and probably not far off from how the real truck was done

How does this look to you guys?  Does it look weathered to you? I've been trying different meathods on fading, I think I may be on to something........ just wanting an opinion
