Re: awesome patina

That's not patina....it's what is generally refered to as a "de-lam".

Patina is the gradual wear and fading of the original paint, which may or may not show some slight surface rust. In general you don't see it much in the eastern part of the country because the rust takes over before they can get to that stage. In the south-western part of the country, the sun and dry conditions make this happen w/o eating the car/truck up.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
