I think I have done my last re-paint last week. I got a early 90's Miyata Sport something for $15. It needed painting really badly. I took the time and did a nice job. It sold within hours for asking price but that's WAY too much work.

I also think I might put a little too much time in making something look better than it needs to but I can't help it. At least people usually buy what I am selling unless it was completely the wrong size.
