I think it's human nature to criticize rather than compliment. I find myself on overload at car shows, imaging all the time and money in each car or truck. When the evil person on my shoulder says "Geeze a 20K paintjob, flawless and they painted it Pepto Bismo Pink!" Then the outside voice says wow nice car, sure got a lot of work in that! Now days I realize what it took getting there, vs. mine in pieces at home in primer and a body you could play connect the dots with. I don't think I'd do well putting mine in a show, since the same dumb comments that pop up in my head would get me upset when it came to someone's negative comments on my work, but then again I did my work myself on a budget so my end product can't compete with someone's 100K project! I guess that's why rat rods are popular in primer and distressed paint because it's not about the paint alone.
