Never understood why people paint their guns? IMO it greatly depreciates their resale value. Most firearms are a work of art & should not be violated in anyway. If camo is the way to go why doesn't the military make it mandatory? Just sayin'! Semper fi.

I give just about as much thought about the resale value of gun purchases as I do a hammers and screwdrivers at Lowes.
Got plenty of heirloom passed down from generations and those won't get painted (hell, they barely get used lol) but I couldn't care less about a new mass produced firearm.Last edited by BigJimmyRustler; 02-16-2021, 12:27 PM.

I have two painted rifles, both were a mixture of mismatched pieces, and some unfinished pieces. I did not feel like spending the money to take them to someone to Cerakote them, that would probably cost more than I have in the guns and having a cool looking finish, does not make them shoot any better. They are just hunting guns, that will get banged around. Like someone else said, they were built for a purpose and that purpose was not to look pretty, they were built to hunt with.
