Patina sauce is on! Crazy to see the before and after. She's almost graffiti-ready! All that's left are the mirrors!

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
Looking really good sir. I’m sure you’ll post coverage of graffiti for all of us to enjoy
Did this include a wet sand and polish?
Yes I will! I’m filming content for our company while there so I will be posting lots of content with a new nice camera!
Before applying the patina sauce, I lightly went over the paint a few times with 0000 steel wool and Dawn dish soap to remove any leftover chemicals, hard water spots. It helped bring out the original paint. So kind of a wet sand lol.
After graffiti is finished, I’m going to install a 3.5–4 inch lift and start going through all the wiring and fixing the lights. I’ll also be using the Hotsy to thoroughly clean the engine bay and installing a cool new headliner. Goldie’s progress will definitely continue!

Goldie made the poster!
Congratulations!
Does that mess up clear coat? Even though im sure the clear coat is probably gonezo. Just wondering, since i might do it to the ford, but its clear coat is like almost none existent is some areas.Before applying the patina sauce, I lightly went over the paint a few times with 0000 steel wool and Dawn dish soap to remove any leftover chemicals, hard water spots. It helped bring out the original paint. So kind of a wet sand lol.
When it first arrived it was covered in hydraulic fluid, i used tooth paste and old shirts. And it came out pretty good.
Yes it does. It’s very abrasive on paint. The only reason I did it was because the clearcoat was completely gone and the paint was really shot due to all the chemicals by the concrete plant. I would recommend with a nicer paint job a really good wash and then some sweet patina. Don’t go using steel wall on very nice paint lol
I’m really glad you didn’t paint her. Actually, I think we need to see a gold Scout.
Thanks to you I watched the classic American Graffiti on Netflix today.T-Minus 15 Days Until the American Graffiti Festival & Car Show at MJC West! If you’re in Modesto or the Central Valley, come check out an awesome weekend of classic cars, cruising, and great people. Who’s coming out?

Great to see Colton’s influence having an effect
I'm interested in what you plan for your headliner. I need to replace mine in my 79 Scout.
