[QUOTE="Robert871, post: 1625249, member: 10963"] i buy used guns for one of three reasons. its just something i want, but cant really buy new because its an older gun, war rifle, or a post ban import fabrication job. i do not really want any of these painted in the first place. i do not actually know what i want, but found something that i would like to try for a good deal, knowing i could buy it, shoot it, and if i like it; i could live with its current condition, and if i do not like it after all, sale it and get what i had invested in it, back out. a rattle can gun would scream, probably not going to get my money back out of it, if i do not like it, and if i do, i maybe influenced to sale it anyway and buy the newest clean not painted version of it. and finally, because i have done my research, maybe even got behind someone else's gun, and decided i want one. usually i if i buy a gun that i know i want, i actually have no intention of actually ever selling it; even if i can find the same gun used and save some money, i will go hands down for the brand new one even doing a write up and telling the gubberment that i have it with a yellow form, from a legit dealer. i am just that picky. i love the smell of a new gun in box, holding it knowing that i am its first new owner, the first one to actually shoot it outside of factory test. i love experiencing how tight and picky they can be at first, then experiencing them loosen up and become a well oiled tool after putting a number of rounds down range. i like knowing that when i loosen a screw, i am not going to find that its been over tightened and stripped out, or looking it over only to find scuffs that i did not notice when i bought it, and did not put there. the post specified rattle can, aka krylon, spray paint. it screams cheap, and the potential to mask a hard life. and even if it did not it still screams at me that i am going to either have to work at cleaning it off, or having someone else do the job. if i want a gun a different color, it will either be that the manufacturer offers a variety, or that i decide it would look good to me, and take it to traxxis. i also consider duracoat and those proper gun finishes to be different, but again it has to look right, i have to be attracted to the gun, and get the feeling that i can still get my money back out of it, if i come to find that i do not actually like the gun after i have shot it.
