Found this today. £100 for a broken kwc Luger which are between 100-120 new but ‘i did good ageing job’. It looks like shit.

This is fantastic and exactly what the thread is all about.

Translation: I wanted to age it but didn't have a clue how, so just started scrubbing the paint off. Oh btw, in the process I even broke a part. In summary I didn't do a good aging job, so I've gone completely off it. Anyone want to give me enough to buy a new one? Cheers. 

You see it frequently in secondhand sales. "Just needs a part which is cheap and easy to install".....then do it yourself so you can legitimately class it as used rather than bone yard!

Anyone who doesn't use incognito mode for such activities is probably only slightly higher up in the IQ chain than a window licker and therefore is harmless anyway

What we've learnt today is people really put a lot of financial value on their "custom paint jobs"

I'll be honest, if a paint job is done right and in a professional way, it deserves to be paid.

Most paint jobs are just wank though and deserve to burn in a dumpster..

whilst i won't disagree that a good piece of work has value, the problem with paint jobs is you're relying on the buyer placing as much value in the particular style as you do.

even a very nice paint job is worthless if the guy buying it doesn't like it.

If it's been done professionally then I'd be tempted to offer up the standard 60% retail, even then that's being very generous.

If it's an OP who says they've done it then 2 categories:

Good paint job:- 60% of the price of the paint, time doing it is value added for the buyer.

Bad paint job:- Negative value as the new owner will need to put it right
