Thanks

GIve Olympic Coachbuilders a call. They are in Didcot.

They gave me a quote for the damage to my lorry and were really reasonable and seemed really nice too.

It is It's panel coachbuilt, so smooth, but the side is not one complete piece, doesthat make sense?

The ramp isnt though, it is like the stick sided lorry ones.

Clear as mud, eh?

It needs respraying as when it was originally done they didn't use enough fixative and so it is flaking off on the panel joins

If the paint is flaking off then the lorry probably wasn't prepared properly before it was painted last time.
If you are looking to get a re-spray, be careful with people offering 'cheap' paint jobs. Your lorry will need properly preparing or the same thing will happen again. We are a small company and we couldn't paint a lorry for less than £2,500 so beware people that say they can do it for less.

I think our friends would take great offence to that statement about price being less than 2500!!!
My quote is less than that, and we have seen the workmanship produced!

Apologies if I have caused offence to your friend. There will be people that will offer resprays for less, some will make a good job, many will not. What I was trying to say is that to choose the lowest quote may not be the most economical in the long run as there are many cowboys around.
