I wrote down Kev's recommendation for getting a van resprayed but I can't find the paper it's written on at the moment. :(

I think it is C&D or C&G Vehicle Refinishers in Wednesbury. Seeing that you live in the West Midlands you could try looking it up in the phone book/yellow pages. :)

Don't know how I managed to change Willenhall into Wednesbury. :oops:

If you want to see some more pics of C & D's work, click the search button at the top of the page, enter 'Rich Newton's Respray' into the box & several pages will become available. The thread that you want is on page 3. :)

Sorry I can't put up a link because I havn't a clue how to do so. Maybe Kev or someone else could set one up? :)
