Paint and Refinishing

Cab and Chassis Respray

A cab and chassis respray refinishes the tractor or cab unit and the exposed chassis components as a coordinated job. It is common at lease turn-in, at resale preparation, and when a used unit is being brought into a fleet running a standard corporate color.

Bringing a used unit into fleet colors

Buying used and repainting into fleet colors is often better value than buying new, and the respray is what makes a mixed-source fleet look like a single operation rather than a collection of acquisitions.

The work covers the cab exterior, the door jambs and hood underside that show when opened, and the chassis components that are visible in service.

  • Cab exterior refinishing to fleet standard color
  • Jamb and underside coverage so opened doors match
  • Chassis component refinishing and coating
  • Previous graphics removal and surface correction
  • New fleet graphics application after cure

Lease turn-in preparation

Lease return inspections assess appearance and charge back for damage. On a unit with multiple scrapes and a failed finish, a respray before turn-in frequently costs less than the chargebacks it prevents.

We can assess against the specific lease standard and tell you where the economics actually land rather than assuming a respray is always worth it.

Pricing

What this typically costs

Ballpark range

$5,000 to $35,000 and up

40 to 250 labor hours

Commercial damage varies widely, so this is a range rather than a quote. The number for your vehicle comes from assessing the actual damage.

Collision estimates for insurance claim walk-ins carry no charge. Systems estimates are $150 and diagnostics are $285 per hour, both credited against an authorized repair.

FAQ

Cab and Chassis Respray questions

Do you paint the chassis as well as the cab?
The visible chassis components, yes. A full chassis-off refinish is a different scope and is rarely justified on a working fleet unit.
Is respraying before lease return worth it?
Frequently yes, but it depends on the chargeback schedule. We will look at the actual damage against the standard and give you a straight answer rather than an automatic recommendation.
Can you remove the previous operator's graphics?
Yes. Removal plus surface correction plus refinishing is the standard sequence when bringing a used unit into a fleet.
