Now you know why ‘patina’ cars are so popular. People go nuts when they see my faded original paint and surface rusty ‘56 VW panel bus.

The price of a good paint job along with the time it takes has folks being satisfied with the old and original look in many cases.

Driving and enjoying it, life’s too short for paint prison.

I appreciate the shiny paint. I get the patina thing here and there ...Clear coat over rust and dents is a little weird to me.

I also appreciate the beauty of a nicely bodyworked and painted car.

I’ve also learned to lower my expectations and enjoy an unrestored car, especially one that probably needs 20k worth of metal work before even thinking about putting paint on it like my old bus.

I dislike clear coated patina personally.

I can't find a paint jail to get into. All the shops around here are over a year out.
