Never done it before but always wanted to. My '51 GMC had a really cool look to it when I bought it but it was so oxidized that you couldn't get near it without turning orange. Since I always wanted to try making a patina I thought this was my chance. I'm going for a worn patina versus an old rusty found-in-a-field patina. The paint is so thin that I'm able to remove it with acetone and a scratch pad, which I like because it doesn't leave sanding marks. Here's what I've done so far..
