Been researching ways to preserve/protect patina. Penetrol and boiled linseed oil seem to be the most used methods, but I’d love for somebody to lay out the pros/cons of each and help me decide which method is best for my situation.
Got a ‘78 big ten. Buckskin and frost white factory 2-tone paint is in decent shape for its age...still some shine to it in many places...but it’s also got plenty of patina. Some areas are bare rust that is pitting and I’d love to stop it or slow it down.
I’m a driveway mechanic, no garage or covered carport to work in (though could borrow a friends garage for a weekend if need be). Truck is always parked outside, and I live in Austin where sun and heat beat down from April through October.
Curious to hear your thoughts!
