Interesting, maybe I'll do the R8.

"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.
