But some Solos have already been done.

Then they have 2 Sapphire liveries as well. It would make more sense if they repainted their buses into one livery rather than different ones like GNE do with their non branded buses.

Think part of the problem is the length of time between repaints. Stagecoach bring a new livery in and everything is repainted in a couple of years. Arriva seem to have no logical repaint plan. Look at some of the Prestiges, never got a repaint throughout their life, and some of the Pulsars and Solos are looking the same way.
