Patina is just an excuse for being lazy. A work in progress is one thing. But to actually go out of your way to create something like that, is hideous! Yuck!
Just my Thoughts.

So has this been wrapped or painted to look like this. It certainly wouldn’t grace my garage.

the rat look is quite nice on a ratty car but on something nice its a bit of a shame when you could have a good looking machine

Anyone else notice the glaring problem?

IF you're going to do something like this, you don't mix pristine chrome trim with fauxtina body panels. Makes a dumb idea even more insipid.

The thing was they were using the car in a film and this is the paint for the film... I swear, a friend and I were looking at the car and he was thinking to buy it. It's on ebay right now, lowest acceptable bid is $1.00...
