Respray in Hampshire / West Sussex?

Post by Hughesg1978 »

Right, first time poster so taking the plunge..........

I've managed to get a 1991 Reimo conversion after looking for ages and delighted with it.

It does however need a respray and i'd like to get it someone to do it. Roller idea looks great with brilliant results but not sure I have the time or the skills to complete it to how i'd want it.

Can anyone recommend a good place to get a respray done in Hants / W Sussex?

Price is obviously a factor but quality is also key.

Thanks for any help.

Hi
a 91 van deserves a decent repaint i would have thought, but if price is a factor yet quality is key then which is it to be :lol:

Could try giving Rich a call at voodoovw (http://www.voodoovw.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) with your requirements - I don't have any experience of his work, however, he was kind enough to go through the process of what bodywork would need doing along with the costs for a van I was on the verge of buying.

Just out of your area but Kombi Klassics in Wareham are VW campers specialists (as you'll see if you look at the website). They've just down some insurance work for us and it looks great (but I don't know the total cost). They have a very good indoors painting bay. :ok

So I took the plunge and had the van resprayed by Gary at Prep N Paint in Hayling Island.

Took about 4 weeks to complete and have gone from and ivory white to a two-tone white / dark green combination.

Lovely finish and would highly recommend his work.
