Hi stuart, the cost of a respray varies quite widely depending on how much of the vehicle has to be painted, quality of the paint used, the amount preperation needed and the quality of the finish you require. I known of good cheap resprays and poor expensive ones, its a case of asking around the a shows for recommendations. I have restored 6 appliances and all of them went to a local coach firm with thier own workshop and whilst it was not cheap the quality of the work speaks for its self. My only advice would be to let how ever does the job do the whole job (including preperation)that way if there should a problem when finished it can't be put down to your preperation. This particular truck cost me £2500 + vat but this would have almost doubled if i had it resprayed in its original 'dayglo' colour, which is only gauranteed not to fade for 6 months.
