HOW many times have you seen on Facebook someone asking about painting their Land Rover? It seems to come up time and time again. Often people are told it would be sacrilege to paint their dilapidated Land Rover and they should preserve the patina.
Where did this obsession with patina come from? I feel that many people confuse patina with neglect. A couple of years back my 109in rolled down a hill and smacked into a tree. The rear body was buckled and beyond. With no spare time, I drove it around like that for many months.
