I've been tempted through the years, but the cost usually made me shy away..and over time, with some hunting, I've been able to find gear in 9/10 condition. I do have some 2x15 and 3x15 cabs in black that were working rigs for years and have some rough spots, but on stage under the lights..they look great. they and I are semi retired now so they sit at home...if I have some fun money one day I might be tempted to redo them...I do remember when i was in highschool (early 70s) there was a local band that bought all white (silver)..organ, big 3x15sirens, guitar and basss rig...it was an awesome sight. For me, black has always been more acceptable on stages...folks either love the tuck n roll or think it's tacky and retro...so a sparkle rig tends to stand out more but black stuff.. I've been able to get away with it through the years even when kustom wasn't as popular. But it is great to take matching stuff out in zodiac.
bottom line..if you're gonna keep the amp and want it to look nice...do the recover...but don't expect to see a profit margin if you ever take it to ebay unless you're getting the fabric and the labor really really cheap...me?.. I might redo mine in blue...but the black rigs sound better (grin)
