It's an AK, come on, leave it alone and move on. Look at it as a badge of honor, a pretty gun is a safe queen, a gun with some marks on it is a shooter. MJD

A good finish would increase resale value... $)

Paint it if you are worried about rust or if you want to camo it. Otherwise, it's a rifle, which is a tool, not a work of art to be admired from a distance. Use it, properly maintain it, don't abuse it, but why does pretty matter in a tool?

Well, I want to make sure if I ever need money, I could sell some of my stuff as easily as possible, and to get as much return on it as I can. And highly visible scratches can make the potential buyer wonder about how I treat my rifle in general - lowering the resale cost...

I tend to use a Sharpie.
Otherwise, a sand blast, park and paint will tidy it up well. Bu the cost rivals the increase in possible resale. |
