VALUE DESTROYED!? Impact of Painting My SLS Black Series

  • Apparently my SLS AMG Black Series is now worthless as I've totally destroyed the value by respraying it! Is that true though? Let's have a run over some more thoughts and also why I didn't wrap it or do a Topaz Skin amongst many more of your questions. In short, this car is bought to be driven and used, not preserved for a future owner, so bring it on!
    If the comments are to believed, my dream acquisition and newest arrival in the garage of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series must now be completely and utterly worthless following my decision to repaint it to a new colour. As you will know, it is being changed away from Himalaya Grey into my preference of Mystic Blue with a complete paint respray, a permanent decision as I intend to keep it forever as one of the Shmeemobiles. So what does this do to the value?
    The initial instinct says that it's a really bad idea, how dare I do this to such a special car, and caused quite some interesting reactions. However, I think you'll find it makes more sense than initially appears. Typically you don't respray a collector car for value reasons; if it's a car with low mileage, one owner, full services, clean history, no damage etc for example a Rosso Corsa Ferrari F40 that's never going to be driven - then no, don't do it! But where my car is different primarily is that I do not intend to garage queen it; I'll take the car on the Nurburgring Nordshcleife, it'll do track days, plenty of road trips, rallies, travel around the world, and be enjoyed - all of which is massively detrimental to any theoretical value but of course creates huge appreciation in love for it as a car along the way. My car in particular has already been wrapped and a show car in its life, again putting collectors off even though it has a full service history and no damage or accident. The last reason that this car was the right subject is that it had sat for sale at a reasonable price for an extended period - had a collector really wanted the colour, they would have snapped it up already.
    I would like to stress that up to this point, the videos you have seen on the Shmee150 channel were filmed prior to the UK guidelines being introduced and certainly not breaching the rules. I'm attempting to share positive content that distracts from the current gloominess, especially as this is not a medical or political channel, however there have been a few individuals sharing unpleasant messages and comments along the way. Unfortunately this is a part of 'the internet' which I accept but this channel exists and came together over a love and passion for cars, and that is how it will continue.

    It was a undoubtedly a brave move to respray my SLS AMG Black Series, after all it's a highly limited edition collector's car, however there are plenty of reasons you might not have considered why this isn't going to harm the theoretical value of it. Plus, it's hugely appreciating in my love for the car!

      Bvdschelde there will always have buyers for an specific selling car, no matter how it is or who it is. What we could be discussing is about the value in price. Probably, a buyer (collector) will always prefer buying an immaculate car, with all the original seals and etc. Then, yes, this is how a buyer will pay more for such a product. But, excluding that, there will always have buyers for a well maintained car.
      Also, per the words of Shmee, it is understandable that he must have paid a good amount of money for it but nothing compared to a collectors car unit! Which means, he paid less! He has saved money! So, it is not harming the sense of being or not a good move for him. And, last but not least, he will use the car! Collectors, in general, do not use them and, instead, leave them in a garage or a show stand for people to look at it, waiting for the value of that car raise up as time goes by.
      So, don’t worry. The value of such an incredible car will still be there for Shmee when we will be old enough to even keep on watching his videos.
      Cheerssss!

      If you're alluding to him getting upset, then that means he would care what people think of him and of what he does. He shouldn't care what people think of him, at all. Nobody should care what others think of them for that matter. That's the mindset of a normal person, so there is no point in complimenting the actions of someone when the actions are indeed normal.

      @@nickholbrook3454 Everybody knew the recent videos were pre recorded. He's said it again and again. Plus every video had a clear disclaimer explaining such. There's no issue with questioning it, if you're confused by the clear information he's lead with, but sending vile comments is childish.

Cars that have included Veyron, LaFerrari, 918, classic Ferrari’s such as 250swb. Buy what you want and do with it what you want. Best of luck in the coming months and onwards.

    I mean, be all means give your opinion, but no need to get nasty or aggressive over it. 😱 It's not like he keyed your car, folks.
    And I mean, if you can re-spray it this colour... you can also re-spray it back. Maybe not the valuable 'original paint', but original colour should be good enough. 🎨
