[Closed] How much does a bike's paintjob factor into your bike buying decision?

I've just seen the new range of boardman bikes. I've never owned one but previously I though they looked like well thought out designs with fairly attractive paint jobs. Now that I've seen the new range I can just about see past the awful paintjob and make out what seems to be a nice looking frame underneath but at the end of the day the graphics are just awful. I can't say that I love the paint job on my Cannondale but I've never let a paintjob get in the way of a bargain before. I think this might be my limit.

I agree with chestrockwell

if all other factors were equal then you'd decide on whether you liked the paintjob or not, but there are always other factors - be it price, geo, material, bb/hset compatibility yadda yadda

and if it was the absolute perfect thing but you didn't like the colour then get it sprayed with a shade you do like
