Dear club 80-90 people

I am planning to sell 'josey wheels' the 1987 1.9l t25 transporter. It use to be an electrical panel van but i have converted it into a hightop with bed,fridge,cooker and runs on lpg.

I painted the camper van by hand and it looks like fine to me.But is it worth respraying it or the roller method? Will it increase the price of the camper by much?

The camper van is one big diy project, so it has not been done to a 'professional' standard, but everything works and its comfortable.

any advise would be appreciated

Just a personal view from someone who is still van hunting.... I'm not liking shiny new paint, apart from the fact that I'm always going to need to roller it again to get the colour I want, It just gets me worried about what is going on underneath. Of course others might think differently, so if you do decide to "freshen it up" take plenty of good photos of every inch before.... so an interested buyer can make a better guess of whats underneath...

As^^^^ says, post up some pickies then we can see if it looks to be worth the effort or leave as is , so somebody else can "put their stamp" on it :rofl
