Has the "patina" trend caught on here yet?

Myself, I hate when people clear coat over that so called "Patina". To me its unfinished and just looks like hell. I was at a car show last night and there were a couple street rods that had this done.. Pretty sure I vomited in my mouth.

Dont get me wrong I would drive a rusty, faded car, but I wouldnt seal that under clear coat.
