[Nobbc] Patination

[Don]

"Making new paint look old."

I just read an article in the September issue of Classic & Sports Car 
about a company in the UK that repaints old classic cars and  treats 
the finish so it doesn't look brand new.  I guess it could be called 
"artificial patina."  This is probably used mainly when an old 
original car is damaged or suffered too much wear, and a section 
needs to be fixed, but the owner wants the repaired portion to look 
consistent with the rest of the car.  I thought this was an 
interesting concept now that preserved cars are getting more 
attention than restored ones.
