Ford Pickup Truck in Westminster, California
A 1951 or 1952 model.
Matte black: is it only a primer or is it the finish?
With matte surface finishes increasing in popularity, some owners are trying to replicate that on their own vehicles, attempting the task with aerosol can paint. I don't know whether this one was painted in that manner, or whether this is a primer coat or finish coat, but achieving a nice, even finish utilizing canned spray paint seems simple enough but is rather difficult to achieve. This one was parked at an art supply store, so this might have been the owners’ expression of art.
