Restoration for Ghost Signs

            Should <a class="expresscurate_contentTags" href="http://wreckyratbird.com/tag/ghost-signs/">#ghost signs</a> be restored? It gives me a funny feeling, as if something important is being lost, or faked or ruined in some way. I don't think a ghost sign can be restored perfectly. Even if it can be, should it be? Does it lose it's history when we try to restore it. Like patina on antiques, is a ghost sign something which keeps value once it gets updated or cleaned?
