I spoke to the owner of this truck and asked if the rusty patina was a deliberate choice (as I suspected) and he confirmed it was. Apparently he treats the scuffs with Linseed oil as it forms a barrier to prevent further corrosion, while allowing the weathered look to be maintained.

Hello! There is a similar brown American truck (?) that appears occasionally in car shows around these parts, and the “rust” and scuffed look is all painstakingly created. It looks terrific, I wonder how many hours it took to get it to look “right”? Cheers Andy
