Good grief! I'm nuts. (Yeah, you guys know that already)
I decided to look up the origin of patina.
Here is what Merriam Webster had to say:
"Italians began using "patina" in the 17th century to refer to the green film that is produced on the surface of copper. They borrowed the word from Latin, where it means "a shallow dish." (Presumably, the Italian meaning developed from the observation of such film forming on copper dishes.) By the mid-18th century, English speakers were also calling the green film "patina." And by the early 20th century, "patina" was being used in English for the gloss of polished metals, like silver, as well as wooden furniture - a meaning that led to its literary use for a surrounding aura, as demonstrated in this quote from Stella Gibbons' Cold Comfort Farm (1932): "The very atmosphere seemed covered with a rich patina of love.""
I'm staying with patina because that is what my budget will allow at the moment.
Although Jeff, you are doing great. Maybe I should bring my cab over to you so you can get more practice.

I was thinking of going Meadow Green on mine but the local auto parts guy can't find a match. do you have a number I could throw at them? I have the Ford number, Code M and M-14283, but they just seem to draw a blank stare from him. They do PPG and Sherwin Williams I think.

I should know something by the end of the week. Better pay. Always home.
More time for Nicolle and I. As you can see...more garage time too!

It will still be awhile before she is green again, but I gotta get her sealed up in some epoxy primer. 3 yrs of down time has presented some surface rust. Ain't nobody got time for that!
