You can also use vinegar, but it takes longer.īy Donnie Brown North Central Arkansas on Friday, Decem09:52 pm: I then set them outside for a couple of days so them would get a coat of rust. To "age" the new nuts and bolts on my pickup body I soaked them in Radio Shack etching acid (used for electrical boards)for a couple of hours.

I have some old bolts but there are places Ill have to use new ones. Also what do you do with the new galvanized bolts. But I would like to take it a little farther. I did a black paint with a "wipe it all back off with an old" rag for starters. there was so much rebuilding, and welding up of holes, ect. If you look at my frame, would just a linseed oil "wash" be a good choice. It is still early in the build, but I need to start the finish of some of the items. If you are reading this Ron, please go into more detail and show pics Ill post a few pic of my project. I was reading another post where Ron was describing his use of linseed oil as a process he uses. Im looking for any of the "tricks of the trade" in faux patina. But some things will have to have too much done to them to save the patina. Im going to rebuild everything for function and safety, but want to keep all the patina I can.

I have a nice (somewhat nice) original body. I am in the process of building my period correct speedster project.
