The new norm, flat / no shine colors.......

I never really understood the patina look. The care for it (or lack of) is pretty easy I suppose, but it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. What's even weirder is the fake patina, like painting several colors and sanding through them. To go through that much effort to make something look "bad" is beyond me. I was plenty happy to drive my car around with zero interior and a hazy finish when I bought it, but even more so once I cleaned it up and started getting pieces back on it.
