I have an old restoration which has, rough at best, paint on it, and another truck with a very shiny high dollar recent rebuild, and I get just as many honks and thumbs up for either one of them.
Personally I would rather look at an old weathered finish which barely has any paint on it rather that seeing one with a slapped-on paint job.
