Re: Patina Questions

To me patina looks unfinished. I have seen some trucks with patina that I would leave alone but if I want to see patina I can go out in the field and look at Rusty or Butch. I dont go to car shows to see what looks like a Walmart parking lot. Every car and truck I have ever owned has had " patina", I just called it damage. I am ready for a shiny paint job.
I guess that is a lot of it, a lot of people who like patina have had shiny, maybe they drive new cars too, so to them patina is "different". I have had patina all my life, I am not going to do all the work to restore a truck and leave it looking " junky"!
To each his (or her) own!!!!!!
