Just for curiosity,  The original photo shows a shiny paint job  but the most recent photos show a very dim and faded paint.

Is this a two stage paint job or a single stage and have you tried to buff it to see if the shine can be restored ?

 

Yeah, the original photo was all I had on hand and Instagram decided to spruce things up. The reality is a neat patina. It's got its scuffs and blemishes, but that has added to its charming and peppy personality.  It's not the original paint (or even color), but I like it more than the red that I believe would have been the original. I've talked to people about buffing the paint to shine it up - which you could certainly do - but everyone has said to keep the patina look.

 

I'm scheduled for a PPI this Monday, so I should have pictures of the underside and more body pics soon.
