On FB a fella posted two patina/rat rods with a very cool bare metal type finish. He said he'd painted the car flat black via rattle can and then with a soft cloth, wiped testors bottle silver over it. I meant to ask him more, but got distracted and lost the post. Has anyone heard of this technique? I'd love to hear more about it.

I tried something like that on a tank using flat O.D. and then lightly rubbed with silver rub and buff on some high spots. Looked pretty good to me.

Ive seen guys do this on 1:1 rat rods before and it looks cool.

There are a few vids out that show how they do it.

Here is one that I found right quick.
