rusty280 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I was hoping to do a design or write in rust on the side of my 280zx. The car is black now but Im trying to get it looking even more ratty. I'm trying to figure out how to do a controlled rust design, I need to figure out the best idea to start the rust process and how to contain where it is so I can make the design and how to get it to stop rusting when it has been achieved any ideas? I was thinking about aircraft remover and painters tape Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 theres no such thing as controlled rust.. rust never sleeps, and if you start it, your gonna pose yourself a pain in the ass when you or someone else tries to fix it... pro tip... google rust paint.. or check out the current pages of the "Lowla Useta" thread of indy's..

MicroMachinery Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Don't be a poser. If your car is rusty, you can either A ) rock it. B ) fix it. I don't understand the whole, try to make-my-decent-car-look-like-shit-on -purpose fad that's been going around. I understand if your car is rusty from the get-go, but what you're proposing is like a super-model having cancer cells surgically implanted in her face. 5 Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Alright... Heres the deal. You take the paint off the hood, and get it wet. Metal will rust.. Now, it hasn't rusted through, YET. It all depends on your location/climate etc on how fast it will rust. The more moisture/salt etc will make it rust faster. Just because their hood hasn't rusted through in those pictures, doesn't mean it wont. That is probably a week or two after its been put on there. You might be able to use a clear coat over it to slow it down. You being over in Ohio, your car is probably already a rusted piece of shit anyways. Good luck on your venture. Quote Link to comment

fisch Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I am usually an anti poser rust guy, but the way Indy is doing it is interesting to me. A special paint. Rather than sanding down to metal and spring it rust. And in this instance, doing a logo or some thing in the rustpaint it a pretty neat notion. 1 Quote Link to comment
