Zippi Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) I think I'm done with the weathering. The running boards, grille, front apron, and fenders are painted flat black. I'll try going over them with some 0000 steel wool once they are good and dry. Edited April 29, 2022 by Zippi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksnow Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Been waiting for an update on this one. The wait was worth it. Looks great. Has the gears in my head turning for sure. I picked up one of those 34 fords at HL as an open box. Its missing the wheels, tires and glass, but a trove of great parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built the 34 Ford as a service truck last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksnow Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 That service truck looks great also. I've got a complete 34 and the parts kit. You've got me thinking one of my other pickups is going to be converted into a wrecker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a "Shop Truck" group build I'm involved in on YouTube and we don't have to have them done until the end of the year. I'm in no hurry. Just doing what I can, when I can. Other projects going on but right now I'm on my Honey do list ☺ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Your weathering looks great. I just started on a 29 Ford Roadster Pick-Up I'm hoping to turn into a Rat Rod. Was looking for an easy and convincing way to weather it. Your method is both. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix up a wash of rust colored acrylic craft paint and go over the body with that. The thinned paint finds the scratches from your sanding and settles in there nicely and really brings the whole patina look together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a look at HL for some rust colored acrylic craft paint next time I'm there. I don't ever remember seeing any rust colored paint there but then again I wasn't looking for it either.

Zip, look for burnt umber, burnt sienna, and other browns for making rust. Also a bit if red and orange. I like using artist oils and Japan drier to help them dry. Also get you some pastel chalks. Good weathering!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
