And the Bullnose patina award goes to...

Rembrant
I dunno gents, this poor old truck has a face I think only a mother could love...

Did this thing just happen to fade and rust like that on it's own, or has there been some help here?...

I see them out on car night from time to time with the fake patina.

Yipes!  There's "patina" and there's "rust", and that thing is headed into the latter.

We've touted the PNW as "the" place from which to get a truck.  So I'm at a loss as to why that one looks that way.  But it won't look that way long if it gets wet a few more times.

That’s what I thought. Could have been on the coast I guess. Redmond is “high and dry”!
