Andy Barnett took a creative approach to customizing a mini truck by executing a stunning Patina painting concept. Patina, a style that mimics the naturally aged and weathered look of metal, has grown in popularity for its ability to give vehicles a vintage, rustic charm while still feeling unique and custom.
To achieve this effect, Andy relied on Tamco Paint’s HR Reducers to ensure smooth, even application throughout the process. Once the patina design was complete, he sealed and enhanced the finish with HC4100 Glamour Clearcoat Kit, locking in the depth and character of the aged look while providing durability and long-lasting shine.
The result is a truck that not only captures the essence of timeless style but also highlights the craftsmanship behind modern custom painting. By blending technique with the right products, Andy Barnett turned a simple mini truck into a piece of rolling art that celebrates the beauty of aged elegance.
