I could see the point if it was for a film set 30 years in the future. Having said that, it now looks like most of the cars i've owned in the past :lol:

The thing is with this car & a lot of others trying to fake patina I guess, is that it doesn't look aged!! it looks like it's been flatted down ready for paint & just left. An aged car would have most of it's paint, albeit somewhat less shiny & the "wear" marks where the paint is worn wouldn't be all over the body, but just in places where it would naturally wear. I've never seen a car that wears its paint down to bare metal through use & neglect, I still don't get it......

cheers...Nige

Hi ive seen some very well done VWs and they looked sun bleached with faded shop logo on the side flat paint and slight ware marks, door handles on the tailgate ect ,with top spec running gear But were older vehicles so it sort of worked .A new car ? i cant see the point but what ever rocks your boat (ok if you have that kind of cash ?) Cheers Neil PS Thats the look ive gone for :lol:
