Patina paint ?

I was reading on the web about using boiled linseed oil to preserve the patina.

Any opinions on this?

I prefer the white one my self , in blue it looks nice , but how many blue ones do you see compared to the white one with one off paint job? , I would look at it a lot more at a show if I saw it

I think that's old skool.
Gibbs is great. I bare metalled my Belve to paint it, then got let down so it stayed like that for months. I just sprayed it with Gibbs and apart from when it got rained on it stayed shiny steel. Looked ace, in fact it wa like that for my wedding

The Bonnster has 100% original paint. Patinated to perfection by mother nature and not even a thimble of bondo anywhere!

My view is that classic car dealers are rubbing their hands, as they no longer have to spend money on bodywork and respray- less spend = more profit
