VW T3 Camper van

[Puglet1]

We took our camper van to get an estimate for a respray in the same colour as original (excluding the roof).
We were quoted £2500 just for materials.
Does this sound right?

10 years ago they quoted £3,500 to paint my T4 if I bought new bumpwers and a used rear door.....there was not to many dents / marks, and some I said dont bother......
that was in 2-pack.....
it didn't get done......
also they wanted to keep my van 6-8 weeks.....they are all jokers....

My £2500 quotation was for paint materials only.
It didn’t include labour.

The labour is the expensive bit. Paint is expensive for sure, especially if you are using C.O.B. I would be tempted to get a second opinion, Sounds a tad dear.

I'd also be getting a 2nd quote, what manufacturer are the quoting to use? If its ppg I wouldn't be surprised as that was £90 a liter the last time I used it.

I'd be expecting paint to be costing them way less than half of what they quoted for an external only respray

FYI I'm quoting £10kish to fully paint a t2 inside out and underneath if it's fully stripped.

I did this for under £50

Unfortunately good quality paint and labour costa a lot these days, make sure you are happy with examples of the company work before you parts with any money
