The quickest, cheapest, and easiest way to give your patina that WOW factor without having to clear coat it. This also lasts longer than a linseed oil treatment.
In my opinion, if you are going to use this product, I would wash your vehicle with soap and water, then take some 3M or similar Scotchbrite pad with wax and grease remover Lightly go over the entire truck making sure to follow up with a clean rag after each panel is dry. Then apply this product.
Penatrol is mostly a solvent with a little linseed oil in it, so basically thinned linseed oil. I use it. As Rustn' Away says, it's like doing a budget clear coat.
it was originally made for woodwork finish, it actually penetrates metal, the boiled linseed oil shine juices that are out there will yellow heavily. Penatrol goes on nice with a clean rag and doesn't streak.
@@iszy1311 yes, the m ore coats the more opaque. Some like the look and will keep it, others try to copy it. My objection is if you do wish to remove it, it's more challenging. That's just me, old school.
I tried this instead of boiled linseed oil. It works but… It goes on like an oil, kinda sticky but not too bad. What I didn’t expect was it dried like some sort of clear coat. Mineral spirits wouldn’t even take it off. I was looking for more of a matt finish be ended up with gloss. If you looking for a matt finish you might want to try boiled linseed oil mixed with paint thinner. This “Flood” will make old dull paint shine new. Another possible advantage: I don’t think this will cause issues with a future paint job like linseed oil will. This stuff is more like paint than oil but consult an expert if that’s a concern. One other thing, my truck has the original aluminum grill that I’ve tried and tried to buff to a high gloss shine with no luck but this stuff did the trick! It glowing now. Almost like chrome.
It holds up great. If the truck sits outside, I’d reapply every 2-3 months. If the truck is inside, 6 months is good. Also a big factor is weather/rain. While this does “absorb” in to the paint, a lot of rain/weather can break it down (same with Linseed and other stuff too).
Why not lightly sand it? That should open the metal a little. Allow the linseed oil to penetrate a little more. Have you considered use a mix of linseed oil and mineral spirits?
great film, I have a question whether this oil dries up and you can touch the varnish or is it greasy all the time, Sorry for the question, but I'm from Poland and we don't have it. and I have an old f-150 and would like to refresh it. Thank you and best regards
I use boiled l8nseed oil and I thin it down with mineral spirits. I used this on my rusty 53 chevy COE. I watched a nother video. Basically wipe it on and rub it in and wipe it off. My truck isn't going to get painted, it was sticky for a few months where I didn't get it wiped off good enough. It's been on a few years now. And I'll do a recoat soon. My prep was to scrub my truck with comet, a powdered sink scrubbing powder for the kitchen. Anyway I scrubbed the truck, amd washed it and let it dry. Then wipe on and wipe off.
A little late. If those glove are not water proof, they are not protecting your hands. I wear latex under my regular gloves when working on my truck; doing wet stuff like oil, radiator, trans, power steering, etc. be careful, though, some stuff eats latex.
It’s not permanent. Dry time is about 24 hours. You can wash it off with any degreasers. Boil Linseed oil is much harder to wash off from what I’ve experience.
@@bradonoliver2973 I’m probably asking a dumb question, but isn’t rust bad for the metal? Just curious, my dad has an old baby blue Ford F-100. Wondering how I can preserve the paint but it does have some rust. I thought I needed to remove the rust first to keep it from eating away the metal. Is that wrong? Thanks.
I live in TX and tried it for the first time ever. I used boiled linseed oil on a '59 f100 4x4. It lasted I'd say 4 or 5 months and I cut it with diesel. We use diesel as a surfactant on herbicides. It makes it stick. So I tried it with boiled linseed oil, we had a wet season in north texas this year so its wore off by now. Gonna try without cutting it/thinning it and use concentrated.
How do you like it now that it’s been a month. I hated the stuff. It’s nice at first. Then it catches all the dust lint and anything ruse. Especially if you leave it on thick. It took me an entire weekend with the sander buffer and turtle wax compound to get it off of my truck. To each his own. I dig the video. But beware. Lol. A good polish and wax will look amazing.
He says at the end, but I agree. No need to “bury the lead”. The product is Penetrol made by Flood. The can says Flood Penetrol. You can find it at Lowe’s and likely other hardware stores.
It’s only $10 and future paint job will not be a issue, u have to sand and prep car b4 painting, also who wants to run a car with patina thru a car wash. 😂
I don't recommend this stuff, I've been using it on my car because it's affordable, but everytime it rains or is too cold outside, car looks like it has dry soap all over. I don't recommend this!!!
I've heard that this is not compatible with modern paints. Once you apply it, you must completely remove the old finish in order to do a new paint job.
Im still waiting to see the patina, Cars dont get patina!!!!!!!!its fucking rust!!!! Why do people think old cars get patina , patina grows on copper !!!!!!!! ITS calledRUST NOT PATINA !!!!!!!
That’s cool man !! You do you… and stay in ur lane maybe . No need for negative opinions brother …. I’m sure this truck shits on your truck by 1000% but you don’t need to hear that do you ….? Have fun Bobby
Yeah just drop it off at a body shop for 3 mos along with a check for $10,000, easy peezy 🙄 not that painting cars is that hard, but most people don't have the time or the space to do it themselves even if they do have the knowledge...
Flood Penetrol, saved you 13 mins.

I like how in the beginning of the video he talks about buying the sponge and stuff but never shows you what’s in the can lol.

Okay, so same idea as Danish Oil for woodworking.

@@rogerthomas169 so linseed oil will yellow when it gets old?

coats the more opaque. Some like the look and will keep it, others try to copy it.
My objection is if you do wish to remove it, it's more challenging. That's just me, old school.
@@iszy1311 try penatrol and linseed side by side for samples, with maybe 2-3 coates, and wait a day
I prefer Penetrol over Boil Linseed oil. They both work well. Penetrol levels itself very well.
Yeah I’ve been super happy with it. Thanks for watching!
is there any need to sand it down after you put it on? what about after washing the car/truck several times?
No need to sand it down. I haven’t had to reapply yet, but it’s pretty easy if you need to.
I tried this instead of boiled linseed oil. It works but…

Will this work with old paint too ?
What problems does boiled linseed oil cause when trying to repaint or clear coat later?
1042 he tells us what the magical product in use is...
Most helpful comment. I felt like I missed it
You just added minutes to my life…🤙🏻 thanks 😎
Cant see what the the product is. Maybe show the font of the can?
Thank you good sir
thank you, too much production!
How well has this held up? and have you had to reapply it? My truck spends the majority of its time outside. does rain affect its longevity?
I dont understand the fascination with rusty pos trucks
@@MrGerryocthen y are you here?!?!?
Are you the catcher from the sandlot?
Yup!
I am curious if late in life you do decide to paint the truck if this product would cause imperfections from the oil seeping back out of the metal?
Would it be OK to apply this if I plan to get a paint job in the next couple of months?
Hek no
Can you make a follow up video of how it held up and of how many times a year you need to apply it? Thanks.
It holds up great. If the truck sits outside, I’d reapply every 2-3 months. If the truck is inside, 6 months is good. Also a big factor is weather/rain. While this does “absorb” in to the paint, a lot of rain/weather can break it down (same with Linseed and other stuff too).
@@RustnAway I was wanting to order the product but i see you say rain and weather can be a factor. So does that mean you can go to the car wash?
@@project71ventura69 who washes patina?
great video / no ever talks about if it dries
Thank you for the information.
I’ll have to sang some of that up and try it out.
Can’t be beat... super easy to apply and cheap!
@@RustnAway my impala is so rough I’ll probably go though several sponges lol
Can't go wrong with a '64 though!!!
Bet water just beads up rolls off. I'm giving it a try on my 61 econoline van.
Why not lightly sand it? That should open the metal a little. Allow the linseed oil to penetrate a little more. Have you considered use a mix of linseed oil and mineral spirits?
The product he is using is Penetrol.
Use linseed oil if you want to do it every 3 months, use this if you want to do it every 3 years
How long does this product last ?
great film, I have a question whether this oil dries up and you can touch the varnish or is it greasy all the time, Sorry for the question, but I'm from Poland and we don't have it. and I have an old f-150 and would like to refresh it. Thank you and best regards
It does dry completely
@@christhegreek3311 Thank you very much for the message, happy new year🤠👍
You’ll have something similar in Poland under a different name or brand. Use boiled linseed oil if you can’t find it. Thin coats
I use boiled l8nseed oil and I thin it down with mineral spirits. I used this on my rusty 53 chevy COE. I watched a nother video. Basically wipe it on and rub it in and wipe it off.

Linseed oil will last from 3 to 6 months this stuff will last two to three years, longer if it's not in the Sun
would you recommend knocking down the rust before applying
Wd40 the fender a little crub will clean it up just enough to match up the rest
Linseed oil work if you have the car or truck inside the garage or outside only lasts a couple of months
Do you need to buff it after it dries? What about after you wash the car several times?
How long does this hold up?
Thanks love it
Does it matter if you are outside or indoors when you apply it? Some products require you be indoors.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Apply " what " to the fender ,u never said .
@cecil sabourin, Sorry I don't understand your question. Only one product is being applied on the fender in this video "Flood Penetral"
Did you just do a dry wipe to prep, or clean with a degreaser first?
Dry wiped it all down a few times
@@RustnAway thanks 🙏🏼 I’m restoring my 84 Ford Bronco ii I think this is a great option
Do you try to knock down pitted areas?
Do you know if flood will affect recently spray painted and wet sanded fauxtina?
Wonder if this will work on my 1958 patina travel trailer
A little late. If those glove are not water proof, they are not protecting your hands. I wear latex under my regular gloves when working on my truck; doing wet stuff like oil, radiator, trans, power steering, etc. be careful, though, some stuff eats latex.
Gday mate Thanks for the content , how long dose it last before you need to re apply
Depends on rain, etc but you can go 6 months or longer.
@@RustnAway Tanks mate, we are make or crusty old Land rover next level.
Are you using linseed oil only? and how would it got or what will happen if you used in a aol fade plastic bumper?
oil doesn't last long and does not protect the metal. it does attract more dirt then if you rub it with a rag it causes more scratches.
Really wanting to do this to my 81 stepside, but I also have flaking clear coat, would I just lightly sand that down?
Yeah you should be able to and feather it out
How long does it last? Is it permanent? Also does it wash off if you wash your truck?
It’s not permanent. Dry time is about 24 hours. You can wash it off with any degreasers. Boil Linseed oil is much harder to wash off from what I’ve experience.
That makes me think Linseed is better considering it's harder to wash off?!
Por favor que alguien me diga que producto está usando gracias
Can it be used on regular paint job
Will this be ok in real dusty areas or will it just attract a ton of dirt?
You'll get a lot less air bubbles if you use something other than a sponge like a foam pad.
So I am not sure but my rig has some flaky clear and some stale clear on bottom half should I just take off flakes or existing clear as well??
Yeah I’d take that off first.
@@RustnAway just the flaky clear?
Have you tried polishing that old paint at all before putting the Penetrol on it? I wonder if it would buff up a little bit. Anyway it looks good. 👍
If you buff it it would take a lot of the patina away.
@@bradonoliver2973 I’m probably asking a dumb question, but isn’t rust bad for the metal? Just curious, my dad has an old baby blue Ford F-100.

What wheels are you runnning on the truck
US Mag Ramblers 20" up front and 22x11" in the rear.
You say no to boiled linseed oil but yet your using it?
Do you recommend pinstripes before applying it or after?
I'd say before as I dont think the paint from the pinstriping would stick as good.
How do you apply body solvent on car or truck and can you apply it for polishing without doing a vehicle paint prep on a paint job.
Does it protect the sheet metal
It will from surface rust, but if it’s already rusting, it won’t stop that
Does this still let petina form even after you use this product
Yea, but it may be slower since this is an oil additive. Similar to the other types like boiled linseed, sweet patina, etc… just cheaper.
@@RustnAway ok thanks I wanted to know because my truck has dull paint and I want more petina on mine so was looking but thanks and nice video
So you'll need to apply this maybe every few months or so?

zep cleaner...leace i on for a bith then a power washer will take it off,,easiset way
What is it?
Awesome.
Thanks for the video, love it and it sure does work👍
Is this safe to do on car paint that's in good condition with good clear coat? And can you buff or shine it after 24 hours to make it shine even more?
Just buy some polish and wax, or some spray wax
Use penatrol it works good

What if I want to clear after your application? Is it hard to remove the oil ?
No, but if you’re going to clear it, you probably wouldn’t be doing this. This is like doing a budget clear.
How long does each application last?
Depends on how much it’s in the sun/rain. 3-6 months is average.
