I planned on painting mine and making it all pretty (and its still a option down the road) but I actually really enjoy the look of mine with its natural patina and not having to worry about it too much. I have 2 others vehicles that i have painted after doing extensive body work and i gotta say i have definitely learned the hard way that its much easier to keep a naturally “worn or aged” vehicle looking clean and tip top then it is keeping fresh paint that you slave over super clean all the time. My truck gets more look in its natural state now than any of my other restored vehicles get ever. I also use it not just for photo props but to actually pick up stuff. Usually parts haha.
