A person looking for a stock or "barn find" is definitely wanting patina for several reasons. To see that there is no rust/bondo, it looks neat to some people and they can decide themselves whether to "quickie white paint" it or not. If the patina is good patina, leave it alone for a flip. What is good patina? That's why Ritchie wants pics. Me too. In my book, people who do a quickie white or a flat black job could be hiding something... or some do a primer with a "guide" coat like they were really getting into restoring it.. yeah right. Like "It ran when I parked it".. doesn't every truck run until "parked" ?

Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
