Our service involves a variety of proprietary processes including an all new restorative polish with unique abrasives made just for classic paints The paint is open to the elements as it is not catalysed like modern paint which prevents petrol from staining it and paint thinner from damaging these new paints and they also are clear coated for even more protection Older enamels and acrylic lacquer paints require a different process to restore them than modern factory and aftermarket paints The Derelicts a short film by eGarage from eGarage on Vimeo.Original Patina is f or classic vehicles built between 19 that have their original factory paint finish intact or which is a mix of original and aftermarket paint and looking to have the paint revived and preserved for the years and decades ahead Then of course care for the newly coated finish with matte safe products.Ĭheck out ICON 4×4, check out eGarage for more great videos and let us know what you think!

But if you can afford a few hundred dollars every so often, this will definitely be a great option. The other option is to clear coat your patina finish to give it more durability and protection. Note: Because these finishes are fragile, you may need to reapply the coating a little more often than you would a new paint finish. Use matte specific products like the Matte Paint Coating to protect it from further fading. When water beads evaporate, the old truck looks as though it never got wet at all. That’s the last thing you want to do with an old gem like these. Our Zep-protected patina is tough enough to walk on and low-maintenance to boot. Patina is not shiny, so don’t use any waxes or silicones that might change the look. The trick is going to keep it from being beaten to a point of no restoration. Now that the framework and mechanics of the car will last, how do we preserve the paint? How is Caring for a Patina Different? A patina finish is likely old single stage paint that has been beaten by the weather, causing fading, damage, and maybe even rusting. Having ICON rebuild it for you allows you safely and effectively drive it for 20 more years. Its seasoned look from mother nature makes each patina unique and invaluable.

These vehicles are so broadly interpreted by the public that it enhances the overall feeling of owning one. The idea was to keep the look of a beautiful (maybe neglected) gem and make it reliable and comfortable to drive everyday. Then with all new components and technology, the original body is replaced onto the frame.
Then ICON strips the body from the frame and rebuilds the chassis. For more information on powder coating, please visit our article, “ What is Powder Coating?” The ICON Derelicts’ Patina Finish The Derelicts by ICON are an extraordinary group of vehicles! The idea is that they (or a customer) finds a old classic car with an amazing patina finish that just couldn’t be replicated. These paint finishes are most common on ICON trucks and the perfect surface to use the Matte Paint Prescription. All of ICON’s production vehicles are painted with powder coated finishes, many of which are matte. Powder Coating a surface provides a more durable and even paint job. Currently powder coating is the main source in painting matte bicycle frames and car wheels. Powder Coated Matte Finishes Powder Coating isn’t a new technique, but it is a long way away from being the main car painting technique. Instead of blushing over these amazing vehicles…AGAIN, I want to dig a little deeper into the paint finishes.
