You can also use flood penetrol for a more semi permanent solution, it’s made for “leveling” house paint but if you read the can it states that it is a rust inhibitor and can also be used on steel. You just knock down any heavy rust with scotch brite, clean the car/truck, let it dry and then wipe it on with a rag, it will be all streaky but after sitting a day or two, all the streaks go away and it’s like you clear coated it.

It looked really good but I’m not sure if it would be the best choice for long term use, especially with the sun baking down on it for long periods.

I only use linseed oil paint on the exterior trim work of my old house and when restoring old trim I wipe the raw wood with boiled linseed oil first. It’s environmentally friendly. It takes a while to dry/cure and can collect dust so I protect it. The rags can spontaneously ignite so be careful. Anyways, it’s a masterpiece and looks great!

Car owners and collectors do or don’t do things to their cars and that’s their choice. I don’t have anything negative to say about it. I have a family friend that does corvette restorations and he goes only so far with certain cars and much farther with others. He only sells them to corvette collectors. Something I have learned from him is that a factory color re spray won’t hurt the value too much, and in some cases may do the opposite. In the end it comes down to money and what the potential buyer wants, or in ur case the owner wants. I think collecting classic cars is cool no matter which way you go with them. Thnx for sharing!

I’ve used boiled linseed oil on wood for many years and it works well. It does dry slowly on wood. I have seen people use it on paint before but I’ve never tried it. Does it dry? I assume it would because it will dry on top of the can. I think the best shot at this working well would be to do it inside, out of the dust and give it a couple of days before taking the car outside. If it looks good maybe some hard wax over top (after a week or so) would protect it and help it last longer? What kind of mess could this make when/if it starts to fail and comes off?
@crowvelle
3 жыл бұрын
It'll just basically become a tacky coating. No way you could wax over it. Definitely let it sit for a day or two afterwards. There's no real mess when it's coming off, but it doesn't look very good after a couple weeks, when it starts washing off. You either have to stick with it, & keep applying the oil, or wash it off & use something else. I've recently decided my paint isn't that bad, & chose to go back to regular washing & waxing. If she was all rusty from sitting outside most of her life, I'd stick with the oil, for sure.

Back in the 1990s, I had a car painted after a trucker backed into it and offered to pay privately for the repairs so he could keep his job. The MACCO paint was more like something from the 1960s than the clear-coated finish that was originally there, and after a few years, it was looking like crap, with oxidation marring its shine. I used a power buffer, baking soda and PAM to cut through all that and the car ended up looking so good that one of my neighbors asked me if it was new. Of course, I had to follow that up with a decent waxing to extend the protection, but it stayed in good shape for the rest of the time I owned it.

Biggest danger is the used rags……if you leave them in a pile or in a bucket, it will smolder and burst into flames! Not good!

It looks good compared to before. My gut feeling is that the linseed oil will absorb into the paint and weaken it's bond to the primer and then to the metal. I'd try this (and I'm not kidding) wash off any trace of the linseed oil, and when the car is dry, go over it with Lemon Pledge. Really. I know a guy that did this often because he never washed his car. It had somewhat of a cloudy appearance, but with your car I'm thinking of it giving preservation to the paint remaining. If you want to keep that patina you could spray it with a spar varnish, or urethane, or do a modern clear coat over it. Nice car. I like it.
