Hi Mark, you make a very good point here. There are two reasons I thought I might paint them, but only after a surgical cleaning and 'grit etching'. 1) I recalled this passage in the lower right hand side of my little orange Ford book, 2) I get to look at them all painted up nice-like in the valley for a while. I did just google this after I read your post and came up with this 'barn post from a few years back on the subject. I DO respect your concern on the matter. It is valid. https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrO...KDZg3u2c4I16w-
