My issue is similar, only my truck looks pretty good. I took it to two reputable paint shops locally. To repair rust and do a good hugger orange paint job...both want $10k. I paid $20K for my truck, have $5k into suspension, A/C, carb, radiator, wheels and tires, and interior. If I put $10k into paint, I'd be $35k into a truck worth $25k. Plus, i use my truck. I loan my truck to friends and family when the need a truck. If I put $10k into paint, I'd be afraid to put three scoops of manure in it and my avocado trees would suffer.
But I don't put my nose in the air and say I love the "patina" lol
