Recomendations on who can respray my Van

Post by garry247 »

HI,

Its time i had my Hi Top Smurfy van painted. Other then a squashed jacking point and the bottom of the sliding door window, she is pretty solid.

I was wanting her painted outside but the doors and rear tailgate and shuts inside and when the windows go back in having new rubbers all round.

Im based in Barnet (Top of the M25) but happy to travel anywhere for the cost quality balance.

Alternatively if there is a friendly guarage anywhere near by i can prep before they paint the van myself at the location to keep costs down.

Anyone have any recomendations of a guarage?

Cheers,

Garry

A question. Do you want a quality job done ie all windows out, doors off, all other fittings off, rust removed, metal replaced and prepped etc or are you looking for a cheap and cheerful job? A proper job will cost £3000+in this part of the world. Having said that I have seen people ripped off with poor repairs for that money.

Would be interested to see if they can do a high top ok as spoke to a few round Enfield and they can't fit them in, waiting for one place that does vans and trailers to get back to me.

Am just down the road from you guys near Chase Farm hospital.
