do you need your van re-spraying

Post by kombikulture »

hi i have been painting in the auto-refinishing trade for 25 years and am able to re-spray your van for you in my workshop, i work alone and have done many a camper over the years, it takes a while as im a one man band but it is worth the wait, i use the 2-pack system for my primers and top coats. i am able to do normal colours and mettalics and even custom colours ,whatever you fancy, i am based in oxfordshire close to the a34 , my number is 07759127432, i have pics of my van you can see if you want (but goddness knows how you put them on here,,,,, help)
many thanks

Respray

Post by T3 Atlantic »

Hi

Are you still in the respray business. I have a couple of vans that could do with some work. Possibly not a full respray, but I'd be open to a professional opinion of what needs doing and how best to do it. I can email you pics of the areas needing attention and or I can come visit you with the van. How far up the A34 are you? How far from junction with the M4?

I think we're talking to someone thats not on the forum anymore...

Personally, i reckon for a job thats very well done, and you aint going to get rust for two years - a grand.

I reckon i might be a little optimistic with the rust...

indeed Westy

but it is not impossible to retard rust so that it's not so much an issue for a fair price.

I tend to think that if the sprayer has any "VW" thing going on then the bill goes up.

I found some lads that did me a job for under a grand...not perfect by any means, but it was all I could afford realistically on an old van.
and that to me is the nub of it ...a realistic price for your means

three years on the rust is beginning to show it's cancerous head.
If I hadn't had it done though.. I often wonder what sort of state it would be in now
