Rosbif Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I saw a car restauration programme here in France a while ago where they worked on a very old car and wanted to maintain as much of the worn look as possible. A couple of panels had to be replaced and to blend them in they sprayed powdered drinking chocolate on them. I think they first put varnish on so it stuck.

I've seen some astonishingly good models of seriously rusty wagons that you'd never guess were all plastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVD3500 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I believe this is related to the fashionable "rat" look that was making the rounds the last few years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
