Mike I owns a autobody shop for over 35 years and body and painter by trade. And also ground up restoration on all my collections and toys. And for you to take on this with a spray can and make it look better than maaco. And then take on a patina look. I personally see a awesome job. Love you content. Videos and your knowledge Keep em a rolling and all the negative comments are plain jealous

I'm one of those guys who doesn't like the "patina" look. I think the shiny new version looked great. But, since you were going for the weathered patina look, I have to say you did a great job and it came out looking almost like the original paint might have looked. Looking forward to the video where you clear the truck.

Beard ross .ok guys lets add a happy little patina over here

You had that look before you started. I'm for a nice shiny paint job.

I was originally a "shiny" advocate. However, you convinced me that patina was the way to go. Sealing it with clear satin would be the best thing to do, in my opinion. 😊😊😊

When you started putting the paint thinner on with the brush there was a spot where you had the brush a little too wet. I was totally hoping you were going to say "There are no mistakes, just happy accidents." That would have been perfect.

Always a great job Mike. Still not for me. There are so few old cars and trucks out there and most of them look beat, I want the nice looking one. Even if it is a spray can 10 footer. Keep up the excellent job beard!

I love the sarcasm it was spot on. The Bob Ross nap sack on the chair was priceless. I have to admit I'm not much into the patina look I'm more of a bling bling kind of guy, but I can appreciate your vision and the work that went into achieving it. Well done.

Yes!!!!!Pumped for an update!!

But in all seriousness, you truly are an artist. Going down that rabbit hole shows how much of a perfectionist you are. I'm the same way. The fact that you take whatever it takes to achieve the look YOU, (and nobody else, screw them), is going for is proof of your talent. This is why YOUR channel is unlike all the others. I hate patina but I've watched other channels use a patina gloss coat and it makes it look presentable, so satin patina would make it look like someone fixed up an old truck and just coated it to protect it so I think that would be excellent.

I like it now, flat or semi gloss both would look good. Go with the middle satin finish clear. That's my 2 cents. Good work Weird Beard.

I’m going to come back daily for the comments 😂😂😂 Thanks for posting WB

I think what your doing to the paint job is good because now it doesn’t look like a uhaul truck. Looks way better now. Awesome job and great video

watching from Australia - love it! keep on doing what you do brother!

Do a satin clear and if it's still too shiny you can hit it with some 800 grit. I wasn't too sold on it when you started, but now I'm a believer. I really like it.

I like it. Looks like it should as an old original work truck. Satin would give it that old sun faded gloss finish. I’m enjoying this build.

Patina is the new standard in non restorations.. I love to see these old rides, wear their history .

167th! GOOD TUESDAY EVENING MIKE! Still not my cup of tea, but you are giving it the old college try! As long as the owner likes it,that’s all that matters. Great job! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

at first i thought it was bad but you fixed it / like to see you clear coat it thank you

You're 100% correct. I agree with everything you've said here. It's fake patina done really well, for the right reasons! Make sure to dull the area under the door handles! Those areas would wear out first!

When I was a kid, I used to build model sailing ships. I used to spend hours and hours getting them right, lots of detail, then I would float them in an old tank we had down the back and set them alight. They used to burn right down to the waterline. I guess I had a reason for doing that. Kinda cathartic in a way...

Looks like a truck guest starring in a Hollywood Halloween movie. Now, give it an appropriate name WB ! A Chillin' Chevy......

WELL. I simply skimmed thru this video. If we knew this was the look you wanted most of us would have suggested to simply paint the truck brown first. 46:01 (rust color or red oxide primer color). And not waste the time and money on the orange paint. Plus I would have hammered down the high spots a bit to prevent sanding thru to metal. I feel it would I d have been quicker. Cheaper and better in the long run

Id dig the satin clear myself. Ive enjoyed watching this whole process go down! Good job man!

I think it is turning out perfectly. The shiny paint over all the old damage and years of doing truck things looked ok on screen but know that it looks terrible in person. I would put the truck outside for a while after done sanding and let the bare spots rust then flat clear it. Excited to see it come together 👍👍

Do what you do little brother. I like the jobs you do and keep explaining what you do. So someone else can do it. Keep up the great work

I have a 79 GMC pickup 3/4 * 4 wheel drive I'm thinking about painting it just like you did this one I think you're doing a wonderful job keep up the good work my brother and God bless you and your family

I wasn't a fan of the patina at first but the end result changed my mind.

Can’t wait to see the finished product, especially once the bed is on it!

If they don’t like your paint job, they can always do their own. I think it looks great. I like your work and your style.

Still like the original orange clean look more than the patina look. But one thing the aging did was get rid of the orange peel. So a win there. You have some bare sheet metal showing, so I am leaning towards a light satin coat, with a little thicker spray over the bare metal spots. This is turning out ok, but I would have not gone all the way down the rabbit hole. This was enjoyable to watch and see how you got to your mostly end result. Good job so far.

Love it, love it, love it. The only thing I don't appreciate is the universal side view mirror mount /shotgun blast scatter pattern holes on the doors.😢

I love it! Satin clear now to seal the deal.

You really did good on the old paint look you were going for. I get it.

Don't say it's like art. Doing that is 💯% ART. Art is done in many different forms. And what you are doing is artistry. I'm not to the end of the video but I can see the vision. I have seen a few people go the same kind (type) of look and there's was not bad at the end at all. But as I watch you build all the layers of colors on all of the hood seems like the way it should be done. I'm so excited to get to the end to see how it turns out. Keep up the great content man👍 Your killing it🎯. Really enjoying the positive attitude as you go through each step you do on these "home" projects..👍

My uncle taught me a patine trick years ago we put a used scotch bright on his airfile it turned out amazing

Glad you are back. Truck is off the chart great.👌👌👍👍

Hey WB . . . i'd try a flat/dull final finish - - but either way u go it'll still be a cool "going down the road" old truck brother! i dig the creativity!

I’m one of those guys that just doesn’t care for the patina look, but if that’s what floats your boat go for it! That truck truly should have gotten the a make over job. It has good bones to start with, and it survived all those decades only to end up looking like no one cared for it. That’s why I don’t like the patina look, love the channel!

Satin clear is great. It gives you a dull surface and it also allows you to seal it and wash it in the future.

I never had any doubt you'd make it look awesome. Great job my friend. 👊🍻🔥

Hey Weird Beard, you are a true artiste!!!

Awesome 🍺, I for one trust your vision to your work. Thank you Weird Beard, as the saying goes, you learn something new everyday. This truck a great video series. Much appreciated.

I don't know Brother. Great if you had a week to go in the shop and play around. I owned a patina car for two years. Kind of played out on patina. The clean look looked good on that truck. A bit uhaul looking though..maybe a candy orange would have been cool. And then patina. Good job man .

Mike it turned out very nice, I had no doubt, like you said you can just paint it again and start over. What some people might not get is that you have to paint the object backwards. What color do you want to show through, paint those first, then last is your main color and sand as needed. What about Poppy's Patina ????

What a great job. You stole it Mike. The patina look is great. Sealing it with clear satin would be the best thing to do, in my opinion.

Awesome!!! Satin clear is my vote

I see my dad's work truck, mid-60's Chevy C-10 from the city water and sewer department. I can smell it too. My 60's and 70's guitars and amps got patina, but they're weathered from use. I don't go for weathering replicas, but that Ford you're working on isn't a replica. So I can relate to your desire to give it the 'survivor' look. It's fictional, but it's based on a true story.

Im going to patina my truck as well also orange lol. Its going to be used as a truck so if i patina it i dont have to worry about it getting beat up. Loving the inspiration. Now clear it for a final look

I like it, looking forward to the end of this project and many more. Enjoy the natural flow of your channel man. Keep it up

Personally, I liked it shiny, but it's not mine! So, if you love it, that's all that matters!

I love it man!🤘 If u ask me: IF you clear it, do the mat finish. Any shine will take away from the natural look in my opinion

Looks great!!

I say let those bare metal spots oxidize then satin coat it. Polish any chrome pieces call it done. Love it Mike, great job.

Well done now that's looking like a proper old truck, I think it would look brilliant satin clear coated and protect all that hard work, but for me looking very good, sending love from here in England 🇬🇧.

Nailed it!!!

Got to say it WB: You nailed that look you were after. Real live Body Art. You are pretty creative in a 'Weird' way mate! 👏👏

Definitely interested in the clear satin. Hell I’m just glad you’re back!

I liked it better shiny. Mike it’s your truck and I hope you enjoy it. Love your videos and your channel. Keep them coming.👍🏻😊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It's really looking good. I love the patina style paint job. I so love that style of GMC and Chevy Pickups. I so enjoy your videos, keep up the great work.

I enjoyed you doing your thing. You are a talented guy. I like shiny.

Flat or satin clearcoat for sure. I love patina, like seeing different ways to achieve (fake) it. This came off very well! I'm not sure 100 percent of the undercoats were necessary- almost none of that shows- but the results are awesome!!

Apologies and Gifts LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you tell em Mr Ross 😂

Nailed it 😊

Looking damn good! Satin that bad boy!!!!! Hell yeah!!!!

I think you nailed it Mike 👍

Looks cool. Thanks.

That was the look i wanted....I JUST DIDN'T KONW IT!! I stand corrected. The initial faded look was good, but could have been any later paint job. Now it looks like 60 year old paint. GREAT JOB. YOU PROVED ME WRONG.

Nah mate, but you keep thinking what you want you are the master.The beauty is in the eye of the doer. Me not even game to touch a can of spray paint.

Well done WB!

Mike, you did a fantastic job on this, it looks great. If this was a total restoration with dent repair and all the works, then yes, a nice shiny paint job would be great. But this makes the truck look its age or look like a decades old restoration that is now faded. I guess the only nitpicky thing is if this was a natural patina, those bare metal spots would be rusty. Personally I would love to drive a truck like this, because I would have no fear of scratching the paint lol. Thumbs up! I think a satin clear would finish it nicely and help preserve what's there.

I do love what you did & why you did it (after all it's your truck). Having grown up never having a new car of my own (they've all been beat up old rusted out shitboxes), I just love and appreciate a great paint job that looks a mile deep.

I dig it man. Satin clear is the way to go if you ask me 🤙

Love your videos brother. Truck looks great! Have you been working on the Fury?

I would do a satin finish for sure. Yeah it looks like a 60 year old paint job. I love it.

you did a great job as usual satin clear for sure i still don,t like any patina but I see what you were going for

Satin my brother... excellent job... gonna do it to my 1986 white F150...

I love it! Turned out really nice!!!!

Looks like a weathered u-haul truck Puddin would have a fit over this truck

That turned out absolutely amazing WB, I love it!!! Flat or a satin clear for sure

I think it looks cool keep up the great work

love it, keep going and finish it in flat clear to protect it

I was team old looking from the start . IM WATCHING YOUR VIDEO AND DOING MY C10 THE SAME COLOR!!

Looking good! I vote for the satin.

Nice result!

Vera Nice job you did on the truck , like the look

A mate looks very good . I do the same sort of thing but to peoples kitchens and furniture give it the old farm house look big money in that work in Australia but very nice job mate loveing it

It's your truck, but I still liked the shiny paint job.

That is great!!

Great video. Truck looks great.

Good to see you back the real

I bet that DA would’ve done a great job with an interface pad on it with a higher grit sandpaper after you got the top layer cut with the 320

Satin all the way bro👍🏻

Satin for sure!

Well your the professional on body work. And the patina look is just great. Glad it’s coming together for you. I would not clear coat over it. Just use the sauce that’s enough. Thanks for sharing! 💯👍👊

I understand you going for a 60 year paint job I like watching you paint I know get it right I like the way it was weird beard

From UK Great job as ever clear satin finish

Satin clear coat would look great, I like the way it looks 👍🏻👍🏻

WB your really talented bro! I love the truck👍🏿😂

Good.job. cool truck 👍👍👏👏👏
