No confusion on my part, I know the new ones are covered with a clear-coat, I was just saying I've never seen one I cared for. Completely personal preference. What is some people's "Awesome!" is another's "Unfinished!".

Similar reason to me not liking Silver/Gray or white cars. They scream "fleetmobile" to me.
