Not to get off the topic, but 1795, 66gtk, are spot on about (even vintage) race patina. A perfect example of this is Pete Lovely's Ferrari TR, the car was brought back to a 100% Concours cond. Pete then vintage raced it for years, he never touched-up a rock chip, because it was done in the heat of the battle. The car then won it class at Pebble Beach, and no points were taken off because of the that fact. I did the same thing with my Alfa GTV, but at the end of the season (10-14 races) I did re-paint the nose, and start over for the next year.
