I truely believe the "Patina" look originated from quality body men who knew very well how much labor is involved to make a true show vehicle. I can think of three cars I've done that the only difference between them and a typical paint job was an actual "add" of 200 hours of block sanding, then spraying black & cutting/buffing for the purpose of checking for slight waves, then block sanding again before the actual color was applied. Those of us who know how to block sand properly have a really hard time going back to "good enough for a driver"..... I feel your pain
