faux-tina paint jobs

Hey dudes,

What do y'all think of faux-tina paint jobs on our trucks?
I know they are generally loved or hated among enthusiasts (I tend to fall on the love it side)

My '66 has a crap paint job. The PO painted it about ten years ago, did a crummy job and the clear is starting to flake off. There are plenty of dings and dents that make a nice paint job look terrible, and would cost me way more than i can afford to remove. And hell, I like the character. I like that my truck looks like it was used as a truck. Its not nice enough for a $5k paint job. I could put that money into handling improvements like a good front end.

At any rate, I was watching Trucks! on TV and saw their faux paint and thought "I could do that in a weekend with a buddy!"

So my question is:
Should i faux my truck because its not good enough for a nice paint job or leave it the F alone?
