Thanks to everyone for their comments steveo a colour change was a lot more work than I thought but well worth it. Really pleased with how it looks so far

That looks really well does that mate, brave choice of colour that has really paid off

Spot on matey looks great - I really want a new front bumper now

Does anyone have a rough price for this sort of colour change. A mate of mine has a body shop but says pearl paints can be very expensive.
Any ideas will be greatly received as the van is coming off the road after the summer for some work. I'd like an idea so I can Start costing things

The paint on this van is a three stage colour , pink base coat then the orange then laquer , I reckon there is about 1k worth of paint on it ...........without any big ish repairs I reckon you going o be looking at about £3500 , but your body shop may well be cheaper ,the paint is lesonal lambourghini orange , thet do two stock shades this is the lighter one .

If you were to strip and refit yourself I guess you could save a good chunk of loot , but there is a lot of prep , we ended up p800 wet flagging before paint .......sore hands and arms !!!

Good luck with your refit post dome pictures as you go we would all be interested I'm sure

yea i reckon you best start saving but looking min £3000! worth every penny though if you want that individual look!

Cheers for that guys. My bodywork is in mint condition with regards to nocks and dents etc, although that may change as my girlfriend is now on the insurance
My mate has said he should be able do the work for around £1000 (minus paint) if I help, so it should be a bit cheaper but again it all depends on the paint I decide to go for.
As I said before it'll be later in the year before anything is started, but I'll add pictures as the work starts
Once again cheers for the help guys
