that happens - Ive seen a person in my old Pakistan neighborhood, he has a 1968 corolla (the first small boxy corolla) - and is proud of its "original paint" which I have to point out is missing from more than 50% of the car - the rest is primer, rust and dents, cheap non original light fittings etc. UGLY - beyond words
Yet he says that its original paint and he will get very good money for it. Yeah right. He's an old man and I dont argue so much - but when I was wheeling away my completely stripped down VW Golf for its paint job - he actually came to me and tried to lecture me that it will drop its resale.
What resale - there are only 20 or so cars in Pakistan and I dont care about selling it, I love the car and like to see it in its crimson finish that sparkles not the ugly boring nevada beige it had. (literally karachi ki mitti ka shade).
