Leaving the patina

you can't buy real patina, it has to be earned. To me, a sunburned patina'd car tells me the owner spends his money on his own priorities. Sealing over the patina is just to protect it. I can appreciate most styles of cars, but being from North Texas and spending plenty of time in the panhandle, I happen to be very fond of the Texas two-tone on street cars, and Texas pinstripes on trucks..
