I said:
I think to control spending is why people have become more interested in maintain the PETINA of and old car, truck, motorcycle instead of doing 100 point restorations.
You said:
I don't necessarily think so...
Which disagrees with what I said.
Then you agree with me:
the rustic "distressed" look is very popular
So which is it?
I offered a possible reason why saving the patina has become popular.
Why do you think people have drifted away from 100 point restorations?
It was a concurring and dissenting opinion. I agree that 'patina' appearances are gaining popularity but for reasons other than what you stated. I mentioned it was for personal taste...the examples I listed were of all situations where people spent 'MORE' on the distressed look, I really don't think it's spending related at all for most people, just style.
...CAN you save money by not touching the petina, absolutely! Although, I don't think the cutting cost is a primary factor in people's decision to save the petina (in most cases) its just an incidental benefit.
It only my observation from my perspective, I'm sure there are alot of different views too
