In my opinion patina SUCKS. What it says to me is one has an old ride that has gone to pot and they don't think enough of it to fix it right because they are too lazy, too broke, too cheap, or too inept to do one right. Did your 1951 3100 have rust patches all over it in 1951; if not then you are preserving a bogus condition. As paint work goes higher and higher I understand the situation but why not just say you don't want to spend that much money on a junk heap rather than being like the phonies that pretend to like modern art. We are requested to do these abortions more frequently but I always keep an airline barf bag folded up in my pocket.
