  • Using boiled linseed oil we preserve the patina and bring out more of its character. It also waterproofs the old porous paint.

    Looking forward to the time you get to drive her. (: You probably know already, but the uninitiated should know that in some circumstances boiled linseed oil can combust, so be careful where you store the rags afterwards.

    I love your video and car! I also used linseed on the dash of my Hudson and the painted faux wood came back from underneath the rust. It was like magic!
    I saw a video where they mixed with mineral spirits like you said but I can’t imagine how that would work as it would break down the oil, or am I wrong?
    The only downside of linseed oil is that it ‘sweats’ so the roof will be the first that will be linseed oil free and my front window gets hazy in the process.

    I have a 1968 F100 that has some real nice Patina. Should the surface rust be lightly sanded or mechanically treated in any way before you put on the boiled linseed oil? Also, what are your thoughts on Linseed oil vs. Flood Penetrol or other products?

    • @CarGroves
      @CarGroves  2 года назад +1

      I would be very careful, I light sand with 400 to knock off and flakes of paint and rust. Warning - sanding old paint might change the color of the car slightly. Or just try simple green and a green scrub sponge and lightly wash it. Stick with boiled linseed oil

    From LA, I always thought “patina” was Chicano slang for a project low rider. For instance “aye homie that’s a nice patina(P•AH•TEA•NUH) you got there”

      The shine wears off after 2-3 days and turns a Matte finish.

    Great video! What if you have some small pinhole areas? I have heard some people say to just spot touch the rust with brush on Rust converter (it will dry black on the rust) and then you can continue to do the boiled linseed oil "clear coating" as-is. What are your thoughts on that when you have some pinholes coming through and do you recommend treating the back of fenders etc with por-15 or liner-x, etc? Just looking to keep the O.G. paint on my bucket as long as possible. I think the patina look is great!

    Having rust, scratch, hole or patina on your car, here in EU, is strictly forbidden.
    No excuses.
    The car inspection will not let you register the vehicle.

      Maybe then in your country is different.
      But they consider the rust as a big threat, and you must fix it, or you can't pass.
      It must be perfect.
      Before we became a full member of EU, you could pass easily with having some rust, dent, or a scratch.
