What if they were faded 30 years ago and repainted?
If the paint on the wheel pants is pretty clearly faded what affect do you think this has on the planes value? 25-30% maybe more? Can someone help just trying to figure this out.

Not much unless it is a really nice airplane and the only flaw is faded wheelpants.
If this is a real concern, take them to a local autobody shop and have the paint matched to a removable inspection panel from under the wing. I'm sure they can repaint them for a couple hundred bucks.
Someone needs their sarcasm detector checked.
My first post in the thread suggested buying a PC-12, which we all know is the ultimate answer for those of us who can't spring for the G-650.
Go ahead and spring for a PC-12. They don't have wheel pants to drive the value down.
Which begs the question: How does a sarcasm detector being at TBO affect the value of an airplane?
these pants can dramaticaly increase value
Yes...but the operating cost is astronomical!
Kind of looks like a base model without all of the upgrades that drive the hourly up. Still might be best to rent though...
$1000-$2000 I sell a special kit that will resolve the problem. You can buy just the kit for $1000 or a highly trained technician can come out and do the job for an additional $1000. Travel expenses are not included in the price and if you want multiple colors that of course is extra. If you don't want colors that run together that is extra as well.
DFH65's wheel pants restoration kit.
Got that same kit at Home Depot ,for a lot less money,found a technician in the parking lot to apply it.
