My real favorite is original/patina paint, it just needs a CLR scrub and Penetrol, or maybe buffing.
I like figuring out a new challenge, but then doing it again gets repetitive and boring. I don't mind blasting as long as its not hot outside, watching the old paint and rust come off is pretty satisfying. Painting is stressful, I don't do it often so I'm not that great at it and one mistake could cost a lot of time and money to fix. Shooting epoxy and high build is fun. The initial blocking of high build is always interesting to see just how straight you got the bodywork, but after that it's just work to fix the high/low spots you missed.
My least favorite part is getting interrupted and losing my momentum/train of thought in the middle of doing something that takes a lot of concentration.
