hey everyone

im getting a little bit confused on what would be best to with my van

it has not been resprayed at all and the paintwork is all original and is in rather good condition except for the seems at the back a little round one of the windows and a dent in the sliding door...

i got a price to have these problems fixed or £400 quid or to have it resprayed £1200 if i have it in the same colour it is in white at the moment.

so wat do u think will be best to do??? to get the best resale etc

Also what you think of the surfer transfer???

You will...at some point, need it reparing and spraying. Anybody buying won't be put off because it is expected on a 20year old van, what I will say however is cheap flashovers cover sins so make sure it is done well and looks right otherwise any prospective buying may think the repray is just a cover up.
Best catch it now before any real damage occurs ie holes etc and a respray will keep it all the same (not two tone or lined at the waste)
