For those that want nice paint I am all for it. For those that want to show off a high class paint job or ask a question on how to achieve it, start a post and get some replies. I for one will be having a read and learning. I would find it equally frustrating if someone had a post on how to get show winning paint and another poster wanted to share there opinion on how to protect patina.

Personally I like both looks but for the purpose of this post can you share your tips for maintaining old and weather paint to protect it for as long as practical. If you have tried the linseed oil or another technique let us know how it turned out. The YouTube videos shows what it looks like ten seconds after completion but not what it is like after a two hour drive. Is there a wax that seems to last well and protect the finish that does not look like the truck has just been rubbed down with baby oil.

Thanks
