Costs of having a 7.5 tonne resprayed?

[_jetset_]

I am thinking of having Doris resprayed into the colours of the yard we are setting up... I was wondering whether anyone had had theirs resprayed and if so how much (just a ball park figure) it would cost me to have it done?

It would be 2-3 colours

 

[Tempi]

Our respray with Equicruiser cost 6.5k plus VAT 4 years ago. That was 3 colours.

I think we had quote for about 2k to redo ours in two colours - although looking at Tempi's price that doesn't seem enough.

It depends on whether you want metallic paint, motifs, different colours etc.

Anything from £1.5k upwards (when I get mine it is going to someone we know with a spray shop as oppsed to a horsebox company as otherwise imo you get overcharged simply for the equestrian connection).

Have never realised it was so expensive to have it done!

 

[Gilbey]

Ours cost over 3.5K about 10 years ago three colours. If it's too cheap it won't be the proper vehicle paint.

 

[Tempi]

I think you can get it done cheaper but we wanted a really good job done on ours, it came with a lifetime garentee aswell. This is ours now:

As you are in lancashire, you maybe close to Ian Pennington. I think its Blackburn. He sprays for lots of the big Horsebox companies. His finish is fantastic. I think I paid £2000+vat for a straight silver. 3 colours would be approx £2800+vat....

Hi there,

It might be worth considering graphics which are considerably cheaper! If the base paint is a single colour, you can add a design on top. I have just bought a new lorry and been told that it would only be a few hundred pounds to have graphics

lex2501... That is what I have now so I think that may be what I am going to go for again as I want a certain logo etc on it and a certain colour. So I think a single paint for the body and then two colours for the graphics.
