@@WDMurphy _ I agree, the patina copper look would be cool on a whole truck, there's a big part of me that really wants to try this on mine. My truck already lost a lot of its paint and I live in a region where it doesn't rust or at least doesn't rot through so it might just be the right candidate.
@@Fucknuts4u Same here they don't salt the roads where I live my paint is near perfect for 2009 dodge (that only gets washed once a year), but most of that is from only having 19k miles on it. I can only imagine having a custom paint job like that would cost a lot but would be an eye turner.
I went out of my way to look for a copper patina car paint treatment, was sure despite how much I love those colors that it wouldn't fit or look good on a car, and one second of this eases all those doubts. It's the PERFECT car to do it on too. An old farm truck. Super jealous, and awesome work!!! When do we get to see the whole car.... Personally, I would want like, 30% more blue than green over this, with how classically well orange and blue go together (even in car livery's) but it's awesome and hope you like it! Super cool!
Hi Melanie thanks for sharing this video, it looks amazing. Just a suggestion for your channel: It would make a lot easier for your subscribers if you add a list of each product with a link beside it. It is irritating and difficult to remember the name of each product used and trying to go back and replay the video makes the whole experience frustrating...
Awesome work. Any idea how you would go about doing this on a vertical surface? I'm just thinking I might have a problem getting my kitchen wall to lay flat. With all the keeping it wet, it is likely to run quite a bit. Maybe if I put the rust / verdigris activator in a gel of some sort?
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie The product I've found in the UK is Craig & Rose Artisan Copper Effect paint that has an acid activator solution - appears to be the same sort of stuff. I'll do a test patch this weekend and see how it goes. I'm not going to develop your skills in an afternoon, but I'll have fun trying.
I've been looking at all these different videos just trying to find a good way to coat my bmx steel frame on copper. This isn't what I was looking for but I have to say this was an awesome video
Tailgate came out beautiful 👌 I have bike I'm building and would like to do the same thing to my tank and fender where do I get the paint primer if there a kit for it
There is not a whole bundle I am aware of anywhere. I buy mine here. www.thepaintstore.com/Metal-Effects-Patina-Aging-Solutions-Activators-p/pa-901.htm
Hi I love you work, I would like to try this on on a couple of car panels do I have to sand the original paint to bare metal or can I apply this technique over top of the original paint? thanks in advance.
ok so this looks crazy badass! could it be done with the pieces still on the vehicle? to achieve a drip affect or would it just run off and not activate? guess i could just buy some and see...
So I'm about to order this product, I'm going to do my whole car, what quantity would you suggest I need to do 4 door medium sized car do I need a gallon of each of the product or more thanks?
If you do this to a vehicle will it continue to rust or does it stop at the primer? I have spent a lot of time doing body work and I don’t want to rust what I’ve done back out.
I have done lots of furniture, and my linoleum kitchen floors with it. I can’t see why you can’t do the truck.. although I would use a different sealer that can withstand all weather. ua-cam.com/video/tHs3D1QsPyo/v-deo.html
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie thank you so much for answering. Following you on your other social media as well. I'll be sending you a message on Instagram
Om looking at old video's , and still love Them ❤️ you are sooooooo talentet Melanie .. dont think you really know how good you are.. move to Denmark, so you can be my neighbor and teach me everything you know😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😍
Is that a lacquer, urathane, or enamel paint? How durable is it and would it be suitable for a car finish? What is the cleaning and care of the surface? Excellent video!!
Hey Melanie how are u? I am in the process of getting ready to seal a ton of patina projects. They all have a mix of green blue and rust. Of course as it dries it gets seriously faded some of it is lovely but I do want to bring back some of the deep patina tones. Do you use matte or satin to seal your patina? Which do you think is best to keep it natural looking? Thanks for always posting your brilliant beautiful projects and creations. You're amazing!!
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie thanks I went and sprayed Rust-Oleum matte, one of my projects turned a milky white. I learned that too much humidity in the air and or your project not fully cured can create a milky haze in the clear coat. Ugh! Starting over on that one. 🤦 Thanks for reply. I'm going to use satin next time but ensure I wait long enough between last layer of patina.
Btw , love that you also use other than DIY, we unfortunately can not get it to Denmark, as shipping is insanely expensive, but we can buy your kling on brush and we can buy other kinds of paint. but someday I'll try DIY paint, then hope I can find a few other Danes who will share shipping.😍😍😍❤️
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie Well it's a heated bathroom rail...so I'm a bit worried the heat will make the paint peel off...it does get pretty hot to touch!
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie The problem is it was really expensive so I don't want to destroy it...😕 Where can you get this primer please? I'm in UK so hopefully I can get it here.Maybe I could test in a place that's not visible first.
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie what's the amount of time you would need to complete a vehicle, Jeep Cherokee size? And what's a ballpark price? Also, how durable is this process? Thank you for your time.
Lone Wadi it would be a few gallons. They are about 80 per gallon per color. Your lookin a couple thousand with all included. It would be sooo fun and cool to do. Email me windmillvintagedesigns@gmail.com
I want to try this on my moms wooden front door bt i still just don't even know where to start 😭😭😭 i wanted to paint the door in like eggshell chalkpaint & do This in areas but didn't know if you could put it on top of Chalk paint?!?😭😭😭 any1 know? & this is soooo gorgeous!!!! I've watched it sooo many times lololol
Just an FYI if you are using real copper. It's actually not recommended because of electrolysis. When using different metals causes corrosion in plumbing. That's why they use Dielectric unions.
Hi! I need to clear one thing out that confuses me. You use copper paint and then the blue patina activator? What I have read the blue activator is intended for the bronze paint whilst the GREEN patina activator is for the copper. Did you really use the blue activator and if so, why? I'm about to buy these products soon so I'm very curious 😊 Thanks for quick answers! 😉
I cringed because as a classic Dodge owner this tailgate runs for 400-500$ because they are no longer reproduced, and I’ve been looking to buy one in decent condition for a year now.
Love tha shit out of ur white hair. GIRL . My go-t is finally white from being a bad ass. Lol. I’ve got a schoolie I’m taking ur advice. Mkay. Doin my paint job. I hope tha Patina works out.
Lol it’s true! I’m sorry, but I just cannot get behind Fake patina. It’s an oxymoron. On guitars, cars or anything. I do understand that some people are cool with it. And you’re doing a top-notch job of showing them how.
I wish my entire truck looked like that. Really beautiful work.
Me too! Thank you
Move to Chicago and drive around during the winter, it will look like that in no time.
@@Fucknuts4u I wish my truck was copper plated It would look cool, or It would also be cool if steel, tin, and aluminum patinaed that way.

Where can I order the iron and green and blue liquids. Love what you did👍

Wishing Haymish a speedy recovery 🌺
Thank you Mel!

It can be applied with a smaller amount of activator on a sponge. So it doesn’t drip

I've been looking at all these different videos just trying to find a good way to coat my bmx steel frame on copper. This isn't what I was looking for but I have to say this was an awesome video
What materials do you use ???
It’s all in the video
I would have to say that's the best patina paint job I've seen so far.
Awesomeeeeeee! Can this be done to a ALLUMMINUM bike frame? Thanks in advance!
Yes definitely... but I would use primer first
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie and thanks for the answer! paint primer? Same process here? Was this tailgate iron? Or alloy?
Yes same process. I have no idea what metal it was.. it don’t think it matters
I also did it on my linoleum kitchen floor... same process and it is holding up fabulous
Can a clear coat be put on this product?
Yes. But not wax
Amazing, but please wear a respirator!!! New to your channel and love your videos!!!
Victoria Montes I am trying to be better. Thank you for you thinking of me. I appreciate your feedback 🤗🤗
Tailgate came out beautiful 👌 I have bike I'm building and would like to do the same thing to my tank and fender where do I get the paint primer if there a kit for it
Modern masters. Com will have all you need
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie thank you I can't wait to do my tins on my bike
Ya! It will be so good!
Hi Melanie you make painting look so easy! I enjoy your videos!!!
Rita Maher hi Rita! Thank you. It gets easier the more you do it! You can dobit🤗🤗
Would you please give me a link where I could buy this stuff all in a bundle wanting to do my whole truck thankyou very much ☺️
There is not a whole bundle I am aware of anywhere. I buy mine here. www.thepaintstore.com/Metal-Effects-Patina-Aging-Solutions-Activators-p/pa-901.htm
Hi I love you work, I would like to try this on on a couple of car panels do I have to sand the original paint to bare metal or can I apply this technique over top of the original paint? thanks in advance.
As long as you prime first you should be fine. Use the primer Metal Effects modern masters
ok so this looks crazy badass! could it be done with the pieces still on the vehicle? to achieve a drip affect or would it just run off and not activate? guess i could just buy some and see...
It will still work.. it will be runny rusty goodness
Where do you recommend purchasing these products? Do you have an affiliate link?
The best thing to do is go to the Modern Masters website and search for your closest retailer.
Do you let the copper paint dry totally also? How long do you spray and soak for?
First coat dry all the way. Second coat spray when it’s still wet. I like to make puddles… but that’s not necessary
This is fantastic! Do you have any idea whether this can be done on a whole car? Can you clear coat over top to protect?
I would suggest using the recommended top coat. It’s durable for outdoor finishes
Can we get a list of the paints you used so we know which one we need to get from the store if we want this same outcome?
I am certain I say it all in the video. I would watch it again and write it down as I go
So I'm about to order this product, I'm going to do my whole car, what quantity would you suggest I need to do 4 door medium sized car do I need a gallon of each of the product or more thanks?
No idea to be honest. Contact Modern Masters. They will know more then me for sure
If you do this to a vehicle will it continue to rust or does it stop at the primer? I have spent a lot of time doing body work and I don’t want to rust what I’ve done back out.
It will stop rusting I am certain. But you probably should ask Modern Masters to make sure
What the name blue/green activator?
It’s in the video
What if I just wanted the rusty color what paint would I use
Just the iron ans rust spray
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie AWSOME ok thanks going to attempt to do a whole truck
Have you done other projects using this product? I'm thinking of doing an entire truck with it. What's your thoughts?
I have done lots of furniture, and my linoleum kitchen floors with it. I can’t see why you can’t do the truck.. although I would use a different sealer that can withstand all weather. ua-cam.com/video/tHs3D1QsPyo/v-deo.html

Hi Mark, I don’t feel qualified to answer these questions here’s a link that may help you. www.modernmasters.com/landing/homeowners/brands/me
Did you wash it after and/or wipe it in any way? Or did you leave it alone and let it dry?
I just left it alone. I did not want to stop the oxidation
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie thanks for the reply.
No problem! It’s a really fun, and cool process. I hope you give it a goo

Hey there!
I prefer the satin. It’s going to deeper and darken all of it.
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie thanks I went and sprayed Rust-Oleum matte, one of my projects turned a milky white.

I'm going to use satin next time but ensure I wait long enough between last layer of patina.
is this paint sand-able or will it gum up?
I have never tried to sand it 🤷♀️

Very cool upcycle idea, love it!!
Yay its soooooo fun!!
Great work as alwsys👍👍 This came out FANTASTIC 😊😊😊

Hi do you think this would work on something Chrome plated? Thanks
Once you put the primer on... it should work on anything
@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie Well it's a heated bathroom rail...so I'm a bit worried the heat will make the paint peel off...it does get pretty hot to touch!

Would this work on my truck
Can’t see why not
Are you available to hire to do this process on a small car? I could bring it to you, or you to it. Where are you located?
We are in Albuquerque New Mexico. Are you local.
