I have been wanting to get my tow buggy painted for some time now. It runs good and all mechanically safe and sound, just needs to look a bit nicer,,I thought. My wife told me that she sees where some people are actually aging their vehicles to give it 'patina'. I thought about this for awhile, and I have to agree with her. My truck DOES have 'patina' that a fresh paint job does not have. I am really glad I didn't mess up the 'patina' by having it painted. Gotta' count myself as one lucky guy to have a wife guide me before I made a mistake and messed up my stylish truck. She has such a good head!! I told her to pick up something for herself for Christmas. She came home with the prettiest diamond ring,,,WAIT,,,it was ON SALE!!! She is always finding ways to save me money.
