I agree, if the goal is to have a net gain on sale after painting the MH.
But many folks on these forums are buying rigs that depreciate at the rate of $7K per year or so and having fun while it happens!
I know because I was one of them. Now, our rig is nearly fully depreciated.
So, paying for a $15k paint job on a $10K market value rig will be no different than those folks accepting a high annual value depreciation.
JMHO... This crazy hobby has not been a good investment no matter how I try to spin it.
