Custom Hand Brushed Aluminum paint job

[albersj51]

Chris,

I think I speak for many here when I say you should feel free to throw ideas/mods out there...otherwise, we wouldnt know about power steering or disc brakes!

I think you'll find that, as a group, we're not all purists (me included). while this thread went a different direction, it did serve a purpose; it "snapped" you back . in all seriousness though, do as you wish!! I thought about bare ask aluminium myself and, in theory, it would be cool.

BTW, I was surprised to find that the age range here seems to skew younger (i'm 31), so no need to look elsewhere for a younger demo. But, pirate4x4 has a series section with some good stuff in it.

In the end, you got what you were looking for (i think), opinions. So by all means, keep posting! If someone doesn't like it, they can ignore it.

Chris, check this thread out: http://www.roversnorth.com/forums/sh...ghlight=patina

And Salem Rover:

You have added nothing to this thread. Yes, it is my opinion. What the hell is your point, other than to get your jollies by cutting and pasting smart ass memes here.
If that's all you've got then actually you're looking for a board called DiscoWeb.

Otherwise cut the crap and have a big boy conversation.

Big boy conversation huh? My first post in this thread did actually state that these various positions were simply opinions. End of story. Might as well argue who would win in a fight superman or batman. That is my analogy and not a strawman argument, that is really how *I* see it. Stock versus modified as adding or detracting value is subjective and the opinion of each and every one of us. Sorry you did not get that the first time. Citing the meme merely succinctly made my point and apparently that got under your skin. For that I am sorry. I felt a little brevity was needed and apparently it came at your expense. It is time to let this thread go. If you wish to discuss this further I would be glad to via PM's but this is getting a little out of hand and I will not respond to any further posts in this thread.

Sincerely,

Jason

Momo, I remember that thread. That's when I was trying to get the same weathered paint effect by wet-sanding and failed. I have an idea of how to achieve the desired affect and will need to spray some test panels and play with it a little. Gonna try and get my hands on some Bronze Green paint.

Chris, post pics when you do the test panels. Weathered bronze green looks really cool. It really brings out all the rivets and spot welds.
One of my trucks is bronze green, but it's still very shiny and new. I'm looking forward to the patina 20 years from now!

When you are ready to order the bronze green check out these guys (they're in WI too): http://www.towerpaint.com/
They can supply in aerosol cans if you like and their paint quality is very good. Make sure to get "deep bronze green"- there's more than one shade but
only "deep" bronze green was supplied on USA Land Rovers so it's probably the one you know and love.
