We all know paint kills the value of a replica, even if it's a "good" paint job...

What about if it's tied to the back of a car and dragged miles down the street?

For sale Rifle  Vfc m16a1

£600.00

Price wise, if it wasn't mangled by a hedge trimmer it would be good but surely with that amount of forced damage to the exterior it can't hold much value?

Also the plate carrier has a stars and stripes patch. Which is a red flag to me.

He heard people saying VFC paint finish comes off too early and thought he'd beat them to it.

Makes the gun look really goofy because real ARs just don't weather like that.

Two Tone Airsoft Rifle

Two Tone AEG Delta Pioneer Nomad 7” DT in mint condition. Only used once with no scratches. Comes with 1 Mag, 1 Speed Loader, 7.4V Lipo battery, 1 Bottle of 6mm BBs with 3250 PCS, 1 Battery Pack and the Rifle itself. (box included with everything)

www.usedairsoft.co.uk

Seller wants more than retail price for two-tone. "Only used once with no scratches" only holds value for a collectible, not a 13 in a dozen entry-level airsoft gun.

Number 1 pet peeve - "Worn" finishes clearly done with sandpaper to a gun that doesn't deserve it

This is why, even though painting your rifle is the best tactical choice... I never paint any of my guns. I myself wouldn't really want to get a painted gun, so I know they're a much harder sell

And at this point, a bunch of my collection are collectible pieces at this point. No way in hell am I painting any of my Tanakas ever

Tbf, theres nothing wrong with painting a gun if thats what you want to do.

Its just if you choose that path you gotta be honest with yourself that it's more likely to be a value subtractive process should you wish to sell.

It is possible that a paintjob doesnt knock down value, might even add it, but for that to happen you need a buyer with the same aesthetic taste as you limiting the pool of potential candidates.
