I don't sell...My investments are in statues...toys and comics..Will up to my Sons to sell this stuff when I am dead...Toys are more fun to look at than a bank account or stock portfolios...

So don't worry about what other people say, do it.

There are times when repaints are way better. For example, repaints of the Ross Superman Kingdom Come generally sell for double the price. If repaints are done well, it's totally worth doing it. Danno did an outstanding repaint of the Bowen Storm. I'd bet this would go for at least triple the normal price.

Regardless of price, repaints are often a great idea! This is especially the case if you are a pro.

In that case, I'd suggest starting on items that are more expendible.

I've made most of my sales in the 54mm range...Here's an example of the larger scale...I painted her about 6-7 years ago...Like I said...I have a long way to go...But enjoy the learning process...

Wow, I think that looks great, but I am unfamiliar with the piece, what did it look like before?
