When I painted my '77 Silverado with Tremclad (Alkyd Enamel) and a roller, I knew it was going to oxidize and fade and go chalky, and I wasn't worried because over time it would just look like an old truck (which it is), and I was NOT interested in fixing all the rust properly beforehand.

The appeal of an honest, well kept original car that simply needs repair work is huge. ![]() I think every high end collector has realized they have spent 90% of their time and money undoing the damage of bad restorations. If that rolled into the shop I would beg them not to restore it.
