Probably not worth your while doing surely. It would be a very time consuming thing to do properly and you will not get a large amount more for it anyway. You would be better off putting the time into marketing your business.
Just my opinion, if I was really worried about the appearance of a hose reel I would get a new one made and not bother with 2nd hand.
