really depends on what you wanna pay

dont really know what to expect, probably looking at a grand to spend.

need all rubbers replacing and new glass put in two places though

Where are you?

SORRY that would help

im in cambridge

A lot depends on the state of the van you want painting as preperation is the expensive part i had a cover up job done about 6mths ago and the rust is coming back through already cost me £400 plus £50 to remove and refit rear glass so you gets wot you pay for

cambridge has popped up before on here and nothing turned up , if your willing to travel then you will get a good job done.

here in the black country sprayers come readily to hand....but commercial van sprayers can be counted on one hand, and good un's are rarer.
look for the commercial van repairers near you and ask for a quote.

I found a fab company near me, good price, good job well done!

bon chance!

When you find someone - always look at some work they've already done....the quality and value for money varies immeasurably.....

As has already been said - it's the preparation that takes all the time, and decides the end result. If you can do any yourself, you'll be saving money......

a friend of mine has a body shop in B'ham ex M-benz body worker plus has their spray booth, oven and jig

just totally resprayed my BM 750i briliant glass finish and is going to do my caravelle next

Cool - I shall post some pics myself this weekend too - need a bit of wrok doing and going local will be ideal. Where abouts is your friend based Avri?

And where in Moseley are you, I'm just up the road in Yardley Wood

unfortunately he not on email but if you want to send me pics on phone or better still post them here so i can print them

close ups of any rotton areas would be good

tel 07711137125 after 6pm

How did you get on with the respray. I'm looking for a recommended respayer too. I can get to Brum pretty easily so I hope you've had a good experience that you'd like to share?!

will post some picks of its when done

Cheers for the reply.
I look forward to seeing the pictures....how are you fixed for taking on anymore work at the moment though?
