Paint will hide a multitude of horrers and even with the best intensions regarding a restoration, filler is often used to hide bad repairs. With experience using a magnet will tell you exactly what you need to know and how bad or good things realy are.

Im interested in people thoughts regarding magnets and the use of lead loading - especially where it is original ie wing joins?
Do I take it if the seller has used lead loading as a 'fairing' it is sub standard?
I have always been lead (sic) to believe that the use of leadloading highlighted quality and attention to detail. Difficult time getting said magnetic to stick or at least with the same 'pull' as the surrounding bodywork.
