Interesting attitude, but I guess I'm the same when it comes to some things people do to Land Rovers.
Sprayed, high gloss finish isn't how it came from the factory but you see a lot of Land Rovers with a better than factory finish.
I don't have any Land Rovers that I'm 'restoring' but I have several that I intend to get back on the road and use. Some have virtually no paint left (like the one pictured earlier) and others that will just get sprayed olive drab (probably done outside as in Service).
Land Rovers are/were a working vehicle and were often brush painted or rollered. Not to 'restore' them but to brighten them up, please the wife, stop the Police keep pulling the vehicle for checks etc.
If someone was 'restoring' a vehicle then I would agree with your comment but otherwise it's up to the individual, their financial circumstances etc. etc.
Live & let live.
