Lovely Rusty Traveller

Post by taupe »

Is it just me or does this rust paint look great on a traveller! ?

I had to look twice to realise it was artificially made to look like that.
It seems there is a whole industry based around making things "look" rusty when they are perfectly sound.

Not my cup of tea, but each to their own.

Agree with Phil , rusty look is not for me but —— if it keeps another Moggie on the road so be it !! I spend time and money keeping rust out of mine 😁

Never get past the concours judges - wrong colour corrosion for the aluminium panels :)

It appears to have been burgundy red, if you see his other advert for a Citroen H-van, that also shows a Minor Traveller.

Oddly enough, I quite it like it. Certainly a very nice interior and decent looking wood, at least.

Perhaps a thin wash of white emulsion?
