Should I keep the orginal paint design or should I change it to a more modern
design. I'm having the upper rail reworked with alum as the old was rusted and
not repairable. would like to hear your opinions on this

83 FC, similar colors to original yet different enough to look fresh and not 30 years old.

Thanks,
Markus

I also like the original paint style (the XXV model excepted, sorry). From a resell standpoint, wanderlodge buyers might shy from a modern design.

In the end result, it is only the individual owner's personal opinion that
counts. Some prefer classic originality, but a well done upgrade can give an
older Bird an entirely new personality and a new lease on life.

For another example of a well done upgrade, check out this week's Bird of the
Week on the WanderldogeForum front page at http://www.wanderlodgeforum.org .

We painted our 1973 FC31 in Indian Silver, Light Rose, and Dark Rose, which were
original colors, but for a later model Bird. One suggestion I would have is to
use colors that can be "Touched-Up" from standard "RattleCan" paints.
