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.
