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.
I used to go to car shows where people would bring in their original cars. non-restored runners. it was pretty cool. just keep the age and patina. what you did here is something that is common with old original car owners. They give their cars oil-rubdowns before the show. sure seems to work. your car looks great!
Diesel Fuel and a shop rag is what old timers used to use for faded paint...works like a charm, is inexpensive, and preserves and treats metal. Does not hurt the paint either...
Number plates Like that crack me up - I once approached a guy in a old muscle car and first thing he said to me that his car wasn’t for sale. I laughed and pointed out that he left his lights on - I just wanted to be helpful and save him a flat battery.
That looks pretty darn good. I remember a buddy had a ‘74 Charger SE with a black vinyl top, this was back in about 1990 and he was told to use vasoline on the vinyl tops. 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.
To clean shine clear coats or vehicles one thing should be used and. That is clean n wiped 3 times with window cleaner n towel scrub with pressure with towel in a shade the whole car bumpers as well. If you need to wash cause of thick dirt mud always use pressure hot water closed to boiling.it will help keep your clear coat intact
Linseed oil is for wood not cars. Maybe the worst idea since vinyl wrap. First trip down a dusty road and you will have a brown Chevelle. DA sand the car with 1000 and clear coat it. Or just leave that poor car alone.
@@the_car_guy5915 "It peels off easily with heat." Mostly. The only spots it doesn't are the spots it has damaged. The vinyl gets better adhesion to the clear coat than the paint does and it will tear off clear coat pretty easily. If you leave a wrap on too long, especially horizontal surfaces, it will always ruin your paint.
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.
Don't let the sun beat on the tires it dry rots them, if you put linseed oil on them, but once it hardens you can put an ceramicoat over if you want a mirror finish
Lightly sand it 1000 sand paper with black paper.just enough to not sand through color wash let dry wipe down with liquor thinner carefully.it like put a heat gun to ole plastic 4wheeler.car pInt ant thined with linseed oil it for enamel an sealer then clearcoat with satin
I see this video is three years old, almost four, how well did the linseed oil hold up for you? Looks like you have a lot of gravel roads and driveways there. I tried it once on an old '47 Chevy and in a few weeks it looked worse than when I began, it was all crusted with dirt and dust just from the wind and it was super pain in the arse to get off.
I went back to waxing my car, but I'd still recommend this method for worse paint. Mine got a little dusty, but I used too much. If I do it again, I'll try adding some acetone with the oil to cut it, I'd wipe it down afterwards, & make sure to wait at least overnight for it to cure or just dry.
I’ve used boiled linseed oil for years on various steel parts with great results. One warning though…..gotta remember to dispose of the rags you used properly, or you can burn down your house! Let the excess oil dry out until hard and trash it, but never pour it down the sink as a liquid. 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!
I've always just used CHEAP silicone spray on ratty old paint... Looks great for about 2 weeks, then just seems to disappear. It's also never seemed to leave any kind of residue... Which a guy WOULDN'T WANT if he was gonna end up putting a new paint job on the car... But I suppose a good bath with Naptha on lint free linen rags would clean it up really well. Another Old school trick, used to be to dump about a cup of Kerosene into a bucket of warm water... And use that to wash a faded car down. Worked pretty good Even the Fire Departments used to use that trick when washing the Engines... Kept 'em nice n shiny!
Back in the day, the car could have 5 different shades/colors in primer, but the mags and tires had to look immaculate. Used Mop-n-Glo, Armor All, etc, but none of it really looked right until we found Snap tire shine. 1 whole can on 4 tires per weekend.
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!
After about two weeks, it'll be pretty much gone. If I did this again, I wouldn't leave it as wet as this, I'd wipe it down more & maybe cut it with mineral spirits, (Check out Derek's videos from ViceGripGarage if you haven't already) too much will attract a lot of dust. I decided my paint was still good enough to go back a regular wash/wax process, but for a vehicle with more patina/rust yes, I would recommend the oil.
Nova wheels,you need some 1969 SS wheels & that car would really pop !!! I love the body style of the 1970/71/72 Malibu/El Camino.I bought a set for $375.00 ,going to use them on my 1967 El Camino.I used to have a 1971 El Camino SS ,but got Cut off by a uninsured woman on a side street that didn’t look both ways ,& was deported.& my truck was a total loss, because of frame damage,That truck would have been worth some serious cash today.& finding another one at a decent price is even harder.
Using linseed oil is an old standby for protection of a lot of different things. My neighbor would just about coat anything he could when I was real young and I helped him do just that. VF
Like it! I do think you mix the lindseed oil with something else also ,boiled lindseed oil right? I would like to know how long it lasted.....anyway like it!
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?
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.
Yeah, this is more of an alternative for a car you can't or don't want to wax, but not permanent like clear coating; every couple weeks or so it will need to be reapplied.
If your paint job looks like his it’s a product call lukat fix it brings the paint back check a video out on UA-cam it’s real and really works got a kit for my 85 monte ss
I think it’s awesome you’re doing that! Old master paintings were done with linseed oil and some were done on metal panels (so it’s not just for wood). 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!
@@luisponce1472 Yes…it’s a reaction of the chemicals as the rags dry they heat up and can ignite. So please be careful when using linseed oil, oil based wood stains, etc. Many people are not aware of this and end up burning their houses down. I just burn any rags I’ve used just to be safe. It’s called spontaneous combustion. Google it. Be safe.
I like it I hate when some one says I’m keeping it original and then they put fresh paint on it I love the patina look, I think a low gloss poly or flat to keep from getting rust out too much paint loss
I have used boiled linseed oil on steel, aluminum, powder coated paint. Wood. It works great and lasts for along time. I don’t know why it wouldn’t work on paint.
My son had a S10 , the clear was faded and he came over to the house I noticed it was shiny. I asked him what he did he said sprayed WD 40 and wiped it down . I asked how is going to get it off when I paint it ? Luckily he sold it .
My s10 blazer was like that I just waxed the shit out it and believe me or not it looked like a new paint job and the rags had the red paint color all over them
That turned out nice, and looks Great! Out of the five Chevelles I had, 1971 has always been my favorite. 👍 I just subbed your channel. Have a good one!
Need to peel that Vinyl off, if there is vinyl its rust under it. All three auto makes used vinyl so they wouldn't have to do the necessary body work to fill the seam. You can shoot the paint with a shot of clear it wake it right back up, I seen hazy faded paint, don't sand, just shoot it with clear, it reoils the paint and it looks just like new. You can test on some junk cars in the yard to see if you like it, but get rid of that vinyl and fix that seam b4 she rots away!!
I have a tremor too. I take medication for it but it didn't seem like it was working, so I stopped. IT WAS WORKING, so I started using it again. Now I rest my camera on something solid or my MOOBS.
Did you try a wersand and now Rustoleum has a clear coat for 29.99 for a gallon You can roll or brush on its not the thickest clear coat out there compared to others But I would guess with a decent auto wax for additional uv protection would help it last I grew up in South Florida and I’m a big fan of Mothers Wax it’s a little old school and hard to use by hand but man that kept my cars and trucks shiny and protected Including off roading in the Florida Everglades mud that is dirt and sand mixed together And Mothers allowed that sticky mess to come right off my paint plus I believe helped stop scratches from The shrubs and other stuff you would brush against In the Everglades after 6 years I sold a Jeep that looked like it had a new paint job on it and it was the factory red / clearcoat AMC put on it in the early 1980s
Okay, so in the gravel is a 1971 Chevelle Malibu likely all original and worth likely $10k as it sits, yet someone stole a hose sprayer? Seriously I applaud your aim at original but restored Chevelles are bringing over $100k on some sites. The Linseed oil does make it look great. Liked. I miss my '72.
Well no, she's locked in the garage at night. The ones bringing that kind of money are SS 454s, & 396s. Malibu's not as sought after. Thanks for watching and liking, man.
290k views! 90k from us car guys and 200k from used car lots trying to make a fast buck off the rest of us. Nice ride though. Its always good to see history preserved the way it was intended. Makes me wish I still had a few of my old cars around.
I don't understand why this one got so much traction, this video sucks. You're right, it's a quick, easy way to make a car look good. Anyway, thank you for watching & commenting.
My 86 chevy Silverado 4x4 is originally apple red, when i bought it in 2008 it was flat dull pink from sun fade and never been waxed i used miguires compond with my drill and foam pads and then carnuba wax with my drill also this paint job is cristal clear and shines better then new and gets lots of attention every where i go.
Thanks, man. In my state, the vehicle has to be at least 30 years old, and you can get one. I believe that was the only stipulation, you just chose if you want this plate, or a normal one.
@@Captain_Yodelstein in england you can get a private plate but nothing like you guys can and it has to be the standard shape and colour. like if your name was dan you could get dan1 or something but you would have to buy it from the person that owns it and they cost thousands for ones that spell names.
@@maxrockatansky1772 gotcha. As long as it's available and fits on a standard plate, 7 digits/letters, it's like $30 extra for the plate then $12 to renew it yearly. Sometimes if a personalized plate is already being used you can just keep checking on it. Once it's not renewed for a certain period of time it becomes available again.
The best looking Chevelle I ever saw, had a full coat of dark gray primer. The guy said he couldn't make up his mind what color he wanted, so he drove it for 15 years in primer.
Bought a 67 camaro back in the day that was sprayed with grey primer. I left it that way when a body shop told me it would cost $2000 to paint it. That was when you could get your car painted for $99.95 by Earl Sheib, or about $400 at Maaco.. I left it in primer grey// looked really cool with centerline rims..
That is something that should be more commonly known than it is. Absolutely do not leave a used rag bunched up in a corner somewhere, or in your trash. Soak it, lay it flat, hang it up, seal it in a container, throw it in the fire pit... Whatever; just do not leave these used rags laying around.
Eh, it's not too bad, it all damn near came off by now. I think a good cleansing would take care of the remnants. I've received quite a few suggestions for other products I might have to try out next.
I just wish I could still get laquer paint .. My 79-28 Cmaro still had perfect paint on it always stored indoors but I got some yellow overspary on it and it's black

Wow what a difference! Looking pretty good!
This is alot like a trick we did in the service, wipe our vehicles with wd40 it makes the paint pop for inspections, but was a temporary fix
Linseed oil also creeps, making it perfect for rust prevention. Been used for over a century inside tube airframes where it can't evaporate.
Good to know. I have an old toyota pickup thats rust free and I'd like it to stay that way. I might clean the frame and give it a wipe down with that.
Looks great. How long did it take for the sun to fade it again.
Eh, it lasts maybe two weeks until the majority of the oil is gone.
That looks pretty darn good. I remember a buddy had a ‘74 Charger SE with a black vinyl top, this was back in about 1990 and he was told to use vasoline on the vinyl tops. 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.
Great job just learned something new today.

This will last a couple weeks or so, depending on your finish/weather, etc.; for a more permanent option, you may want to be looking into clear coat.

I finally painted my 70. I am happy with my decision but cost me a fortune. The patina on your 71 looks a lot better than mine did.
That was pretty damn good
Definitely improved the looks of the car👍
oil goes in the engine. paint goes on the body. Like tires go on the rims.
Oil on the tires.
Transmission fluid works also.
Most famous use? The stocks of the Springfield, M1 and M14
It keeps my .30 carbine smelling like a carbine should smell and looks great. I wonder what the car smells like.
Don't forget wooden tool handles. Keeps them from drying out and growing splinters.
Did you try a wersand and now Rustoleum has a clear coat for 29.99 for a gallon You can roll or brush on its not the thickest clear coat out there compared to others But I would guess with a decent auto wax for additional uv protection would help it last I grew up in South Florida and I’m a big fan of Mothers Wax it’s a little old school and hard to use by hand but man that kept my cars and trucks shiny and protected Including off roading in the Florida Everglades mud that is dirt and sand mixed together And Mothers allowed that sticky mess to come right off my paint plus I believe helped stop scratches from The shrubs and other stuff you would brush against In the Everglades after 6 years I sold a Jeep that looked like it had a new paint job on it and it was the factory red / clearcoat AMC put on it in the early 1980s
Okay, so in the gravel is a 1971 Chevelle Malibu likely all original and worth likely $10k as it sits, yet someone stole a hose sprayer?
Seriously I applaud your aim at original but restored Chevelles are bringing over $100k on some sites. The Linseed oil does make it look great. Liked. I miss my '72.
Well no, she's locked in the garage at night.
The ones bringing that kind of money are SS 454s, & 396s. Malibu's not as sought after. Thanks for watching and liking, man.
290k views! 90k from us car guys and 200k from used car lots trying to make a fast buck off the rest of us. Nice ride though. Its always good to see history preserved the way it was intended. Makes me wish I still had a few of my old cars around.
I don't understand why this one got so much traction, this video sucks. You're right, it's a quick, easy way to make a car look good. Anyway, thank you for watching & commenting.
Good on your vinyl roof as well.
My 86 chevy Silverado 4x4 is originally apple red, when i bought it in 2008 it was flat dull pink from sun fade and never been waxed i used miguires compond with my drill and foam pads and then carnuba wax with my drill also this paint job is cristal clear and shines better then new and gets lots of attention every where i go.
Baby oil works great lasts a few days too
I used to use pledge furniture polish on my vinyl top in the old days before armerall
Looks good. 👍
hey nice car how do you manage to get the licence plate?where im from the uk we couldnt get a number like that its so cool man
Thanks, man. In my state, the vehicle has to be at least 30 years old, and you can get one. I believe that was the only stipulation, you just chose if you want this plate, or a normal one.
@@crowvelle that's so cool here we just get standard plates.car looks amazing.
In Michigan you can get a personalized plate for any vehicle regardless of age.
@@Captain_Yodelstein in england you can get a private plate but nothing like you guys can and it has to be the standard shape and colour. like if your name was dan you could get dan1 or something but you would have to buy it from the person that owns it and they cost thousands for ones that spell names.
@@maxrockatansky1772 gotcha. As long as it's available and fits on a standard plate, 7 digits/letters, it's like $30 extra for the plate then $12 to renew it yearly. Sometimes if a personalized plate is already being used you can just keep checking on it. Once it's not renewed for a certain period of time it becomes available again.
The best looking Chevelle I ever saw, had a full coat of dark gray primer. The guy said he couldn't make up his mind what color he wanted, so he drove it for 15 years in primer.
Bought a 67 camaro back in the day that was sprayed with grey primer. I left it that way when a body shop told me it would cost $2000 to paint it. That was when you could get your car painted for $99.95 by Earl Sheib, or about $400 at Maaco.. I left it in primer grey// looked really cool with centerline rims..
@@titolombre7004 I saw at least 10 Chevys like than back in the 70s, including one 65 Corvette. Always liked that look. WE called it City Cammo.
A 50/50 mix with mineral spirits works great on Hand Hewn Beams too! lol
Twelve minutes of washing a car in a Wang Chung video. Everybody, have fun tonight.
I used to do this on my Camaro before committing to sanding and painting.
Itll last a few days if the weather stays nice.
@gacekky1 wax won't really stick to it, it's an oil.
Terrible earthquake at the start of the video and then aftershocks, glad you’re ok.
Earthquake?
Hahahahaha I felt it in Australia 🇦🇺!
That linseed oil just soaked right into those chevelle wood fibers making the car waterproof and eventually fossilized.
Good
My neighbor burned down his garage by leaving a rag with linseed oil out which spontaneously caught fire.
That is something that should be more commonly known than it is. Absolutely do not leave a used rag bunched up in a corner somewhere, or in your trash. Soak it, lay it flat, hang it up, seal it in a container, throw it in the fire pit... Whatever; just do not leave these used rags laying around.
...so he could collect insurance and build a new garage.
D. S No, maybe you would do that.
@@sladelefty - i'm not the guy with the unorganized garage that you're talking about
D. S Please seek help your are obviously deranged.
The only thing is if you ever redo the car you'll have to strip it all and treat the metal to decontaminate it from the oil.
Eh, it's not too bad, it all damn near came off by now. I think a good cleansing would take care of the remnants. I've received quite a few suggestions for other products I might have to try out next.
@@crowvelle I've heard of a guy using motor oil on his 50's vehicle years ago to store it, and then wanted it restored. My buddy wouldn't touch it.
Nice car bro, I prefer the original patina looked alot better after. Thx for the video , maybe less shaking
I just wish I could still get laquer paint .. My 79-28 Cmaro still had perfect paint on it always stored indoors but I got some yellow overspary on it and it's black
