Has the "patina" trend caught on here yet?

Mike your barracuda looks like it has weathered natural and well. Nice car.
Now get some paint on it. Kidding.
All my cars are so over patina'd I won't even post pictures on the site from embarrassment.
I think it is better suited to 40s and older cars. I am building a model A that doesn't have a lick of paint left on it and it won't get any. The car is to rough and would cost a fortune to make paint look good on it. It is cheaper to just leave it alone.
