I can't speak for the people of this board, but I'm a big believer in painting equipment if you going to sell it. I haven't seen much of the topic on the internet. Generally, I speak with people who buy and sell equipment and they all say put a fresh coat of paint on before selling for a number of reasons. 1.) It doesn't necessarily mean your going to get more of a return if you paint it, but it does mean if someone is in the market for a machine that you have, your odds are better of selling the machine quicker. 2.) It does bring a greater price when your ready to sell. 3.) They say 3 or 4 thousand dollars is a small price to pay if your getting ready to spend 70G or more. It's like buying a pickup, why not go ahead and get a diesel if your going for a new one, its only 2 thousand more than a gas and the engine will take you twice as far.
Most of all, I think that newer looking equipment says something about your business. I'm a believer in painting a machine even if your not planning on selling it. One, to keep rust of the machine. Believe it or not, I've gotten jobs over others because of looks. I know, it sounds stupid, but true.
Anyone who has bought and sold, or is interested, put your 2 cents in on this thread.
Thanks in advance.
