It's interesting to read the various opinions about restoration. My feeling is, if a sign still displays well with "some" gloss and "some" chips then hang it up and enjoy it. If it is a mess like this Conoco was then restore it. Many years ago, when I was just a young kid, oh yeah, and I met Richard Amistadi over the telephone and we made our first deal together he asked me why I was buying signs with damage to them. I told him then that it was because I could afford a damaged sign and could enjoy it until something better, at a good price came along. About a year ago Richard told me he NOW understood why I did what I did at the time. Restoration is a good thing.
