what to say to nit pickers at car shows

Lets see a pic of the horribly crooked grill! lol

I went to a show today, "When are you going to get it painted" is what I hear constantly.
Besides answering it as "I really prefer to drive it and enjoy it" should I be giving them a specific start date and completion date?
And maybe ask them why it f-ing matters 'when' to them so much?
