    I don't get the compulsion some jackasses have to confront an owner on their color/paint choices. This is precisely why I don't go to car shows as a participant.

    I used to paint airplanes for a living and cars for fun, and my favorite paint jobs were industrial gloss/semi-gloss single stage urethanes and enamels. I don't personally care for "deep" paint, as it looks fake and plasticky to me, but I acknowledge the skill and effort involved in them.

    Could never imagine what kind of asshattery it would take to criticize or confront someone over it.

    My '67 Mustang wears original, flaking in wear area yellow paint. There is always some idiot who feels compelled to "advise" me to media blast it and repaint it, uninvited. The Landcruiser in the picture has a $50 enamel paint job and I love it.
