Can respraying devalue frame?

I've got this idea that respraying old frames and removal of decals and transfers can devalue a bike right? What you reckon to this old Carlton, Reynolds 531 tubes. Think it would look lovely in black and white!

I don't think it would devalue it...

i think it looks good as it is, just needs some restoration

Of course it would devalue it, it's in absolutely fantastic condition, don't be a pilliock, if you want to paint your frame matte black and make a fixie nodder then buy a Langster.

You are him:

1. Yes! - it's going to be hit with eBay
   
2. No! - Yes, It will devalue the frame
   

That bike look perfect, add gumwall tyres, bartape and you're sorted, you don't even need to do anything other than a few polishing and the like.

Fixed.

oooff!....

OP: yes, of course it will. But if the frame has significant rust then you're probably going to have to do it anyway.. if not and the paint is fine, don't bother - it's lovely
