When I asked a similar question a little while ago the general opinion was that respraying to sell was a bad idea, so I stripped the frame and polished it instead and it looked so good that I kept it. 😀

I'd prefer to buy a scuffed frame than a resprayed frame. You have to bear in mind that most people will wonder what the respray is covering up.

yeah if your re spraying to sell you'll lose out as it will cost to spray and unless you go black your market may be smaller.

but if your spraying for yourself i reckon green or taxi yellow

Keep it. I would. It sounds like a pretty good bike from all I've read.

(wishes he kept his 05 Enduro) 😐

My mate Jez says he's tried and car paint just doesn't work on bike frames (something about not sticking).

There are some really good powder coaters in the Fax that'll do a bouncy bike for £40.
