I like a truck or car with some natural patina, that shows that it has been used over the years, but I don't think I've ever seen painted-on patina that looked totally real. Maybe I've seen some that was not real but it fooled me, but I don't think so. To me the worst is when clear is sprayed on it to protect the patina, especially if it's gloss clear. Not criticizing anyone's ride. We all have ideas about what we want and like, that's what makes the hobby great.
