Yeah I'm a little over-cooked on the patina on mine:

Real deal! I wet sanded with 400, and sprayed with matte clear coat. I will eventually patch the rust holes in doors and fenders. Duplicolor Wimbledon white matches pretty well. I patched 3 antenna holes already. If I wanted to paint the truck, I need a new bed, new hood, and lots of bodywork. I've done it before. It's nice. Then you have some fool back into it in a parking lot, or bump it with their doors. Instead of working on the body for 2 more years, I'm enjoying my truck!

If I was shopping for a truck, I'd take an original patina truck over a painted one anyday. Only too late do you usually find what that re-paint is hiding.

I guess everybody has their idea of what looks good. For me, I prefer shiny paint, just the way it came from the factory. I'm just trying to maintain the old paint on my truck until the time comes I can finally put a nice top coat back on it.

I was aware of the round up, but I couldn't find any info on it. Isn't this like the 2nd or 3rd annual?
