I will say that painting old tikis with brite colors
just sucks, Mr. Taso did this at the Kahiki.
If this thread can stop that it's worth it.

I would not buy those tikis.
But to each his own I guess.
The Kahiki got a lot of their suff in Mexico.
Some of that I would not buy either.

I agree, when I suggested we should have a paint stripping party for the painted Tiki at Sam's Seafood I was slammed by some TCers who thought I was out of line. They thought it was OK for them to look like Mexican wrestlers. Those Tiki were originally unpainted when installed in the sixties until someone "Decorated" them in the eighties.
