ABOUT PATINA PERFECT
A community built on a shared love of these vehicles.
We're into this the same way you are, and that's what brought Patina Perfect to life. We wanted an easy way to post, sell and buy cars — online and standing right next to them at a show — without the hassle a windshield sign or a forum thread usually comes with. Beyond the sale, we want this to be a place with real content and real information: help getting a car home, help finding the parts to bring it back, and the stories and community that make the whole hobby worth it.
Sell it
Print a QR for the windshield or list it online. Buyers message you in the app — your number stays yours.
Print a QR code for the windshield — plain paper, laminated, or a weatherproof sticker on the glass. No more handwritten sign fading in the sun.
Scan it and you get the full listing — photos, specs and the price, right there. Nothing hidden behind a sign-in wall.
Buyers message you inside Patina Perfect. Your phone number is never on the listing and never handed over.
See exactly how the listing is doing — scans, views, saves and the messages that came from them.
Browse what’s for sale
Restore it
Find the shop, the hauler, the appraiser. Vetted resources for every stage of the build, searchable by area.
A directory of the people who do the work — haulers, body shops, trim shops, appraisers and storage.
Filter by what you need and where you are, because a great shop four states away is not much use.
Listed because they do good work, not because they bought the top slot.
Where we’re headed next: pricing and sourcing help for the parts a listing says a car needs, plus local resources for the rest of the build.

Share it
Check in at shows, read the field notes, wear the badge. The part of the hobby that happens with other people.
RSVP a car to a show before it happens, or check in with a live pin once you are actually on the lot.
Buyers browsing a show see what is really there right now — so when they are ready to buy, they head to the spot with a lot of cars worth seeing, not a guess.
That builds the show itself into a community, not just a parking lot with vendors.
Field notes on the blog from people who have sold, bought and driven these cars.

What we don’t do
Most of what makes a marketplace unpleasant is a default someone chose. These are ours.
No phone numbers on listings
There is no field for one. Conversations happen in the app until you decide otherwise, so a windshield code never turns into a wave of calls.
We don’t hide the price
The asking price is right on every listing, for anyone who looks. No sign-in wall, no “message for price.”
No area comps — not yet
We’re not rolling sale prices up into a market view or a suggested range. Maybe later, but for now it’s just your car, priced by you.
First-party analytics only
Scan and view counts are ours, measured to tell you how your listing is doing. There is no third-party tracking suite riding along.
