To re-spray?
 

What do we reckon to doing an all over re-spray? Do most people look on them as if to say "that bike's obviously been dropped that's why he's changed the colour"?

But if you make a good job of it is it likely to have a massive impact on your resale value and saleability, so long as it's not a naff colour?

My bike is a 2000 model anyway, so it's not worth a fortune (in blue just to fill you in on the details.)


One for debate I think... :-k

Mine has been dropped.. of the back of a car transporter.. but as I have no plans to sell it on... ever.. I think I don't care.. bizare colours here it comes.. :D

Hmm not sure about the bizarre colours...

Did mine 8)

Nothing wrong with the bike, no scratches etc, was offered a complete respray for £200 - Had to be done

As for re-sale - had a few offers from site members already :lol:

Cool, I should be ok then so long as it's not made a hash of!!! I've got a couple of ideas, but I don't want to release them in case they get poached!!! :lol: :lol:

I'm in the middle of mine, I'll tell you if it was a good idea once I'm finished :) Some people will probably look on it as being accident damage repair, but I'll not be selling in a hurry. Well done, tasteful paint jobs can sometimes add to the value of a bike, especially a common one- but tawdry race rep jobs usually cut you more.

I know mine will be worth more in its new clothes than it is at the moment, with every single panel having a scratch or a crack :oops:
