PATINA PAINT

[HURLEY]

Hello Forum friends
Does anyone know of and can recommend a signwriter or painter/paintshop that can do a job on my '72 Bay. i have the design for four panels and both doors but not the skill.
Looking for that ever popular old school weathered Patina look for my Devon Kombi.
Anywhere in the SouthEast is fine
Thanks in advance
Mark

I'd say Prosign for the sign writing, they did some of the t2d buses.
If you're talking about rubing the paint off and making it look more distressed, I'm not sure many companies would be that keen to do it.

There was a guy on here a few years ago that worked for Disney. He did the rusty paint on the full size mator tow truck from Cars, and offered his services to us. Think he was in kent somewhere.

Neil and Mandy from Prosign are rated as one of the top pin strippers and sign writers in the world and are lovely pople to boot.

I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Hi, if you ask on Dubnuts forum they might be able to help you, John aka Mollycat has an awesome Budweiser themed split that has aged sign writing on it, also i think another guy had his done with a dr pepper ,logo, im not usally a big fan of faking it but these looked really good,
Also they are on the south coast in brighton area.


good luck with it and get some pics up when you have it done.....................kev

Gary Yeo had the Dr Pepper done, but i have a feeling when he had the van re painted it wasn't re-instated.
