Hi all
I was having a chat with my old man about painting the 110. He's really into classic British sports cars so thinks every car including defenders need to be shiny and dent free. I on the other hand think land rovers look better as honest looking vehicles. Looked after but with battle scars.
The question arose because the 110 soon will be sold. He thinks it will attract more people if it's dent free and super shiny and polished. However I don't think it'll make much difference as I'm only expecting it to sell between £4500 and £5000.
So if you were buying a Land Rover 110 with 200tdi would the paint work be a deciding factor? Would you pay more just because it had nice shiny paint? Or would you pay less if it had laquer peel and faded, chipped paint?
I should point out that I will be spraying the Land Rover but it won't be professional paint shop standard. Mechanical and structurally it's all been gone through.
This argument is mainly for bragging rights. But an honest opinion would be good to have.
Cheers
