Re: Some people just don't get it
Nope. Some people don't get it. Many of them are on this forum. It's so funny. I was one of them that didn't get it when I bought my patina truck. I just figured it needed a paint job, so that's what I planned on doing. I come on this forum and tell guys my plans to paint it, and I hear guys pleading with me to not paint it because it has "sweet patina".
So, after a while, I came around and decided to leave the paint. Now, every once in a while on the forum, I'll get a negative comment that it would look better painted, and that "one day you'll realize it should be painted". It's like, whatever dude. Stfu and keep it to yourself.
It's interesting though. I sort of sense some angry jealousy here and there directed at guys with natural patina trucks. Since folks can't just go buy one easily, or have repop parts shipped to them with that look, they get funny about it. Sure, everyone has an opinion and different taste, so that's part of it, but I think there's more to it.
