How Much Does It Cost to Repaint the Steps on a Scania Next Generation R?

If you drive a Scania Next Generation R, you know how easily the steps can get scratched. Stones, gravel, dirt, and boots constantly going in and out quickly leave their marks. At first, it’s just small scuffs — but over time, the paint starts to look worn, and repainting might seem like the only solution.

But how much does it actually cost to repaint the steps?

The Cost of Repainting

The price can vary depending on the workshop and how extensive the paint job is, but generally, repainting the steps can cost anywhere between SEK 3,000 and 10,000 — sometimes even more.

On top of that, you’ll need to account for downtime while the paint dries. That means your truck is standing still, and you’re losing valuable working hours.

A Smarter Alternative

Instead of waiting until the damage is done, you can protect your steps from the start with Clear Defend step protection film.
