I'm gonna get my Patriot resprayed by Argos before putting it up for sale.

It's curently Kawasaki green (or the Orange version of..) and looks great, but what colour sells the best?

Should i just play it safe and go with gloss black?

By the way it's an '08 18" Maxle model if anyone is interested in buying it!

just get a quote for the respray and let the new owner pic their colour

that way they are reassured there was nothing 'terminal' that has been covered up by the recent paint job.

However, that's not the case for most people. Newly sprayed frames seem to go for more money more redilt than tatty frames!

They might go for more money but it will cost you over £150 for an argos paint job and while it may be worth more than before is it really going to be worth £150+ hassle more?

If you really want it resprayed take it to a good powder coaters and pay £45.

how much do you want for it then, I've always fancied one, does it come with a shock?
