I kind of like the dull faded paint look versus shiny faded paint.

Enjoy your updates and deliberate approach on this truck.

I'm all for preserving original paint. That said, IMO it appears dry and sorta neglected. Bet you could get the single stage looking healthy w/ minimal effort.

Check out this thread on reviving dry paint for motivation:

Don't think yours would be too shiny using the aforementioned method. It wouldn't be nothing like when people spray excessive clear coat on faux patina.
