Hence it's still "natural patina" but without the rust component. Unlike a painted spot though, I thought of Naval Jelly as a treatment, that would only convert the rusty areas exactly, and leave the paint around them still paint. Which I'm usually not for extended periods! I don't mind patina either, but I don't like rust that keeps going while you're not watching. Because of that, I was reminded about the rust-converting primer paints and used some of the flat black primer on the rusty areas. This is a great way to add the rust paint look without painting walls or furniture. My '71 had black areas all over it for probably 15 years before any of them actually started to rust. Transform an old glass vase into a stylish rust painted one. Probably come out black looking, which to me is ok too because quite often an old paint job starts to show a black or dark gray layer before it actually shows red/brown rust color. You could also try Naval Jelly to convert the rust to a different type of material. Maybe a penetrant? I think that's what the video might have been. Don't remember what the video was testing, but I don't think it was as a metal preservative specifically. I think Project Farm on YouTube did a comparo recently with Gibbs oil as part of the mix. One can lasted me for years, you use very little, and it goes a long way. It would be a cheap method to seal your patina EB. I originally heard about it for coating machine tools from rust on The HAMB. I never found this product in a store, It's sold on line. When I finally did the powder coat primer, and base coat/clear coat paint job the oil did not create any paint problems. I would do the wipe down with a scotch bright pad, and respray/wipe with a cotton rag and they would disappear. About each year, you would begin to see finger prints begin to show on the bare steel. Then I used a cotton rag and wiped it down, almost removing all of the oil. I sprayed all of the frame/body/doors/trunk lid/hood pieces/dash/and the gas tank on both sides with the Gibb's Oil. I had my doubts, but I was told to spray it with Gibb's Oil. I eventually stripped the car and had it powder coated with a thick baked on primer. I drove the car for ten years with a bare steel (never been premiered) Rod Bod reproduction steel body and three piece hood. Once upon a time, several years ago I drove a 32 High Boy roadster.
