Patina is not rust as some might be trying to advertise.

"patina" is so over used in the "vw scene" its ridiculous. that is not patina, that is a car needing paint.

I consider my car to have patina! It is the result of too much love! There a several spots where the primer is showing through from washing and waxing the car since 1966!
