Leaving the patina

yup

the paint on my duster was redone by one of the previous owners and is a 6 or 7 out of 10

it is GREAT to be able to drive to the store, park withing sight of the front door and not have to worry about getting a door or stray cart bumped into it
(dont get me wrong, i hate it when that happens, but it wont make a terrible difference in the grand scheme of things)
