This is a really impressive paint job. I zoomed in to look for evidence of pitting on the metal because the shading and distribution of the "rust" is so convincing. I love it!

Weathering is amazing when done right. Take this helmet I painted for example.

That's beautiful work!! I love that you used paint with texture, it really sells the aged look. Great job!

Thank you. I wanted it to look worn, but didnt want to actually damage it.

It kinda reminds me of the highwayman from fallout 2

I think that was based on the Chevy Bel Air.

Pretty sure that Driver game had a car similar to this.
