The actual patina creation comes from a plethora of different things.
For people that like to be different and stand apart from the crowd, a Patina car or truck is perfect. So, your truck is unique to you and no one else on the planet will have the same identical truck. Also, every truck is going to rust and fade differently. The more original the body with tons of faded paint, oxidized sheet metal, and even battle wounds like bullet holes and dents and dings the better! The appeal for most is they love the nostalgic look of something that is 60 or 70 years old. A typical Patina truck will wear the same original body but be completely transformed into a modern riding and driving vehicle underneath. The patina trend was born from that and naturally like anything has progressed to what you see today. As time progressed the rat rod craze took hold with people that didn’t have the money to spend on body and paintjobs but preferred to just build something on their own and focus on function over form. Rat rods have been around since the 50’s when GI’s came back from war, they wanted to build a hot rod inexpensively and focus on going fast not necessarily worried about the looks of the vehicle. Rat rods where cars or trucks pieced together with whatever spare parts you had laying around the garage or stuff you could purchase cheaply in a junkyard. What is this craze of people leaving their truck or cars rusty and crusty looking? Is it a fad or is it something hear to stay? I am certain the patina trend started with the “rat rod” folks.
