Dip Paint Affect on Gun's Value?

[nambujim]

Ken!

I can't help myself here but I would like to say that the young lady in the picture is going to be a "heartbreaker", she's quite lovely but your guns are ugly as sin!!

Being a bona-fide old guy I still believe that rifles should be made of wood and blue steel but as time goes by that opinion seems to be on the way out. I personally don't think you have added to the value by "dipping" them, there will always be someone out there that will think they are really cool and pay an "appropriate" price.

You see this taking place at gun shows every weekend and in particular on the auction sites, the moral I guess is that ugly can be marketed but must ask that while you're hiding in a Deer stand totally out of sight of the prey is it necessary to camo your weapon...........that is a rhetorical question.

Enjoy your paint job and watch over that young lady!

Kindest regards!
