Yes, paint mixing schemes are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £5,000 to £40,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Check EligibilityPaint mixing equipment, including tinting scales, mixing machines and toner racking, is moveable plant and machinery and generally qualifies for Annual Investment Allowance, letting the cost be deducted from taxable profits in the year of purchase. HP agreements let you claim capital allowances directly; lease payments are deducted as a running cost instead. Ventilation and extraction work fitted as part of the mixing room is treated separately, as it becomes part of the building.
A paint mixing scheme is typically supplied under an ongoing commercial agreement with a specific paint manufacturer, and the mixing equipment itself, tinting scales, mixing machines and toner storage, is usually financed alongside signing up to that manufacturer's colour formulation system and toner supply. Waterborne mixing schemes have become the standard specification across UK bodyshops, reflecting environmental regulation on solvent-based paints, and most manufacturer schemes are now built around waterborne colour ranges as a result. Because a bodyshop is generally tied to purchasing toner and paint through its chosen manufacturer's scheme for the practical life of the mixing equipment, the choice of which manufacturer's scheme to join is usually a bigger long-term decision than the finance terms on the mixing equipment itself.
