What makes me laugh, is they fake it to look real, then put a clear coat over it. I guess there’s a demand for it because I went to a shop to get my Velocity seats reupholstered and they had a couple restorations in there with fake patina.
Not sure what drives such thinking. When I was in grade school we were not a well to do family and sometimes I went to school with holes in my jeans. It was embarassing but now you get to pay good money to look poor ...
Coming up with the definition of a "standard beer" was one of the sticking points. But I'm sure we could have come up with something better than a metal cube under a bell jar, stored in a country that keeps being invaded every few decades. Maybe we could get the Canadians to do it. They seem to be pretty good at the gold coin thing.
After ten years I'd be worried it's the only thing holding the car together...
Houses too. In my neighborhood it’s almost all cabins. Some of the new ones going up have fake pitina on the metal roofs.
Shane stopped by my strip last summer before Oshkosh. I thought it was interesting that his plane was not a wrap. I figured it surely was. He actually painted it that way.
