Repaints and resale..... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Getting My Aero Repainted, 97 Aero, Tue, 24 Feb 2004 13:35:38 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
As a used car guy I'm gonna' be very suspicious of a repaint. I'm gonna' assume it's had major body worked or been hit and fixed. Better a little normal wear and tear than a repaint.
Decent repaints, which means basically disassembling the car, are $3k ish. And then you still wind up with a lot of flaws, dirt, drips, overspray and such. If you don't spend that kind of money you'll wind up with a lot of masking, which I personally wouldn't tolerate.
How's the finish overall? I'd sure hesitate to repaint unless overall the finish had faded or was somehow bad in a way you can see from 25 feet, because I can spot a repaint from further than that.
